If you get that magnet near the engine you'll magnetize the IMSB. Doing this guarantees that any ferrous debris inside the engine will be sucked into the races of the bearing. This causes certain death.

I have seen this before, and we have to stay join the asses of distributors NOT to ship IMSBs with magnetic drain plugs.

Also, if you magnetize the lifters, they'll suck up debris and the engine will sound like a small diesel.

Magnets that are this powerful have mo place around an engine.

There;s a time when avoiding the issue creates other issues. I'd suck it up and take it apart.
