bignum Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I have 1 fitted just so when i do an oil change i can check for filings or bits, its been pretty clean so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Just stick a rare earth magnet on the end of the sump plug at the next oil change. Buy one on ebay. It'll catch all the bits & give you a good idea of how the bores & cam etc are wearing. Expect a small amount of 'furr' to build up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I think Lee P said he could get them as he fits them to all the singles he builds. May be worth dropping him a line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 These are a must as an extra safety device for an engine. If you get any metal fragments in the oil they get held in the sump away for any moving parts. Essential if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiFlash Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Thanks for all the links guys, as Hodge said its a must have and I'll be investing in one for sure. I wonder if I can get one for the auto box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersonic Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Thanks for all the links guys, as Hodge said its a must have and I'll be investing in one for sure. I wonder if I can get one for the auto box? AFAIK the Toyota A340's have magnetic bolts as standard, or at least the one on my 1JZ did, the Torsen diff did too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubersonic Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Wait for somebody else to confirm that though as the bolts I had may have been messed with at some point since 1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
