My Al heads (on an Fe block) needed to be resurfaced after only 15K miles. There was very slight pitting as a result of corrosion.
I am told that I need a zinc anode to prevent this. My questions, do I need an anode in EACH head? Do I even need to put it in the head? Would I be fine just sticking one in the radiator?
The reason I ask, the 3/8 NPT holes in my heads would only allow me to use an anode that is about 1/2" deep max (so I'd have to cut one to fit) while I could use a 2" anode in the radiator.
