Chances are good that the pencil zinc was probably protecting the heat exchanger for the cooling system. If it was missing for long, it is a bad thing... check it often, and replace when it gets down to about half it's original size.

The zinc was completly gone. No way of telling when it was replaced last. What damange should we be looking for?
The water injector fitting in the wet exhaust fell off. Is this collateral damage from the zinc? What else.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
