New Radiator Leaking

[Iceni John]

I used the Johnson 235-24 cork gasket tape  -  it's green and 1/8" thick, so maybe that's the one available from NAPA?   One more thing that I was told to do:  do not make the bolts' holes by just shoving the bolts through it, but instead use a proper punch or drill them out.   This prevents tearing the gasket.

There are gaskets available for all radiators people use tape because you can use it on any radiator tank,the 1 pc gaskets are so much easier though

I looked eBay and found two 100' rolls for $70-72

Yep I can buy the 100ft rolls from Napa for around 85 bucks,but the 50ft rolls will do me 2 Eagle radiators and the 100 ft rolls get hard and brittle before I can use it I believe it is AP that sells the tape with pre punched holes if you send them the bolt spacing I have used it before real nice to work with
