VOLVO MD7B does it have an anode?

[paulsmith]

I can't find an engine anode on my 1980 Volvo MD7B and there is no mention of one in the manual. But I'm told 'it's got to have one somewhere' Does anyone know if my engine has its own anode and if so where is it?
Regards paul.
p.s I've just launched my new (to me) Westerley Griffon and it floats!
so a huge thankyou to everyone who has answered my many questions over the last few months.

There are NO anodes in the MB7B engine block

This post just saved my worries - amazing that all the suppliers list and anode for the MD7B... and then sold me one!
Question. Do you know what this is?
It came out of the engine here (where I supposed an anode would go)

Its the remains of the cylinder waterjacket drain cock. NLA .. just fit a plug in it place

No anode I reckon you need to change your parts suppliers
