Drilling Brodix BBC aluminum heads for zincs
As the title says; does anyone have experience drilling and tapping the water jacket on Brodix BBC aluminum heads in order to install zinc anodes? Thanks.

I've always thought about this as it's easy, however it is not contacting the heads per say. This is where I get confused with anodes. Do you have more info on this so I can understand better ?

Also, people might want to use Magnesium in fresh water.

I've seen what they call pencil anodes and come in various npt 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and so on. Looks like a pocket on the brodix heads forward and above front exh port. Drilling in from the front would be ideal however accessories would be on the way. How about in the rear water jackets. You could go in easily without issues that I can see. Since there's not many with first hand experience I'm just trying to help.
