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.

Oh crap. On my last oil change I put in a magnetized drain plug.
Never found any metal in my filters yet though. I'll be putting the original plug back in.
Sorry no help to the op, but Thank You Jake!
