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!
