I have a 2001 350 5.7 MAG MPI ( Freshwater cooled ) motor that I just replaced the heat exchanger ( got a new one under warranty ! ) due to one of the hose nipples was obviously crushed during initial install in 2001 and finally the thing rusted out...
Motor has 500 hours and I am still running original elbows, risers and manifolds !!! All running well - cool as a cucumber ! They look great and so did the heat exchanger other than this nipple issue.
THE QUESTION:
My exchanger has the blue, plastic, drain-knob that gets threaded into the exchanger. I was thinking if it would be a good idea to remove that and install a threaded 'zinc' in there for electrolysis protection...
Thanks
