Re: Sacrificial anode attachment.......
Can't make that call. The installation in the upper hose is as I recall from the instructions on a similar anode years ago.

Re: Sacrificial anode attachment.......
Been using no-rosion in my '48 F-1 for a few years with good results. Some time in the past somebody put the wrong head gaskets on and caused a water leak. Was using no-rosion then and was impressed with how clean the cooling system was. It has been three years since I did this and no cooling issues. The engine is a 276ci. with aluminum heads and using straight water with the proper amount of no-rosion.

Re: Sacrificial anode attachment.......
Once a Clinton / Trump supporter always a supporter you won't change their mind.
Same here. But did you know all hot water heaters have a zinc anoide? No fancy Chemicals in there? Wonder why...

Re: Sacrificial anode attachment.......
Fifteen years ago, I put together a 32 with an aluminum headed merc flatty. I ran straight water till I was sure there were no cooling system problems. I figured that I would change over to anti freese as soon as I got the chance. One day I went to start my car and the motor was locked up. I pulled the plugs and one cylinder was full of water. The aluminum head had a big spot eaten away around one of the copper crush rings in the head gasket. I welded up the bad spot, filled my motor with anti freeze and most importantly, put a Pencil zinc in one of the tapped spots in the head. 15 years later, no problems! If you go online and look up "Galvanic series" you will see a list of metals, from the most noble to the least noble. The farther apart on the series the less happy metals are in the presence of an electrolite {water} Copper or brass and aluminum are pretty far apart, and should be protected. The pencil zinc is cheap insurance. By the way I never used head gaskets with copper on aluminum heads again. Rich

Re: Sacrificial anode attachment.......
Simply because there are NO "fancy" chemicals in there... just water and all of the associated minerals.
