I have always been under the impression that the below waterline zinc's provided protection for my engine. I have been reading other articles and find that I should have pencil zinc on/in my engine. It is a 1977 Chevy 350 (5.7L) I/O where are these zinc's located?

Re: Pencil zinc

They aren't in the engine itself, only in the raw water side of the heat exchanger on boats with closed cooling systems.
