I am in the middle of a heads and cam swap and I am trying to look into some things that will help the new setup be as reliable as possible. A while back I remember reading about a board memeber who mentioned something about a magnetic oil drain plug where the oil passes through this and all metal shavings and debris remain attached to it, I thought it might be a good idea since this debris is probably not very good for my motor.

I would just like to know more about this part (how to install it, etc..) and maybe a place where I can get one.

Thanks.

 

Im pretty sure you have one stock

 

You can find a magnetic drain plug at most auto part stores...

 

Magnetic Oil Drain Plug Motor Mite 65203
1/2 x 20
Pep Boys etc..
I am a big believer in using em..
Also, it's news to me if they 'came stock'

 

I just put a big honkin' magnet on the bottom of my oil filter. Does a terrific job of capturing particles and holding them in the filter.

 

My '97 has one stock.

 

bottom on oil pan, or filter?

 

My car had one when we bought it.

 

Thanks for the info!
I also heard some people stick giant magnets on the underside of their oil pan for the same reason.
