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.

Anyone who's ever played with magnets knows this is complete BS. A magnet will only magnetize a ferrous metal for a limited amount of time.
You can use the damn magnet and just wait a while before you start the engine.
Nothing is going to be permanently magnetized, drama queen. I missed; did you decide to quit posting on rennlist when you saw that no one cared if you stayed or went? What kind of narcissistic person posts something like that in the first place? That was a funny thread! Drama!

Been reading, interesting situation.

So I will throw this out for the heck of it.

You are able to get contact to the set screw with a small thin object and touch it, so how about build a cheap electromagnet?

Use some strong insulated wire and at one end attach two wires which go to the +/- of a battery?

Sort of like what we used to do in science class way back when :-)

What an absolute and utter *ssclown.

And since I got a chance to check out Tonichriti's page since posting the above obvious, I'll add this............do you ever have anything to say that actually POSITIVELY CONTRIBUTES to the discussion?

The reason I ask is that I went to your profile and looked up your other posts and read them, let's just say I already know the answer to the above question.........what a troll.
