Nope. Adam Gill does all my work now and he sent me that picture when he put in the deep sump. You can see the scratches at the bottom of the sump from where it was... apparently for a long time!

Nice concept, but how would you observe and remove the collected ferrous grit? It would require pulling the sump cover, which is a lot more effort than changing the oil filter during normal maintenance cycles.

The burning question is did he discover where it came from and put it back?
 Note: Mandatory Precautions for Samarium-Cobalt magnets: Be careful with those magnets because they are so strong that if you let them adhere to each other it takes a lot of force to separate them, and if you get some skin between them its going to hurt. These are not your weak little horseshoe magnets you played with as a child. You've been warned!
