But wouldn't a sacrificial zinc anode in a closed radiator system still create a gas?:confused: |

How are pictures of his plugs related to this problem and the solution he found??? What am I missing?
And I have to agree that if the pressure buildup is the result of gasses liberated from a galvanic corrosion or electro-chemical reaction, then the introduction of a sacrificial anode would likely produce even more gas or at least produce the same amount faster.

They're not related; you missed nothing. The plugs were simply an interesting sidebar that was totally unrelated to the real issue at hand. |

I've had a zinc anode in it since the beginning. I only started getting the pressurizing of the system when I added the UV dye.
I use 10% green anti-freeze and the UV dye is brown but turns green when put in the water.
The zinc anode did not create any gasses before adding the UV Dye.
What is not normal about the 4 & 8 plugs?

I think they're fine. Clean 'em off a bit, gap 'em, and put 'em back in and forget about it.;) |

Not really unusual to get a little oil deposits on the back cylinder plugs. The valve guides pull a little and the back cylinders valve train is submurged because of oil being forced to the back of the valve covers.

No more pressurizing. I just drained and flushed and put 90% distilled water, 10% anti-freeze and a bottle of water wetter. 2 days since and no pressure.
Thanks for all your help.
