Take it to pm guys,

Kulula, have a look here

Hows your health Jerkoff? Hows the doctor visits going? Who is it you are really trying to impress? Think about what members egg you on. Then think about what kind of members these sheep are. Do you really feel important impressing these sheep? Now think about what valued members actually dont bother commenting. How important do you think you appear on the big picture? Kind of sad isnt it.

Oh no... Here we go again!


And on topic(kinda), For once im not a sheep! I have a kiwi upbriging and copped the whole shagging the sheep thing thru high school. i just dont like these little products that you find on ebay, its like another fule line magnet, or stationary velocity increaser thingo... Spose im just turning into a stuck up mechanic

Doesn't the oil filter really only filter a small amount of oil ( like about 10% )
Therefore magnets in the sump would be a better idea

yeah i heard that too dattoman.. i cant see why it would be a bad idea.. havin them there would have ta be better then not having them there at all.. sorta makes sense

The oil filter is supposed to filter all the oil, all the time, but micro particles of iron & steel are in the mix. The magnets get these & we can leave the other non magnetic particles to the filtering medium.

Baaaa

I don't think so, not for the majority of engines at least, all of the oil should pass through the filter. I know that some filters have a bypass valve, which will open when the filter becomes so blocked that the oil can't pass through it anymore. Dirty oil probably causes less damage than no oil...

harddrive magnets are best for removing particles... It doesn't hurt surely, but i wouldn't spend much on it.

In a petrol engine, carbon is the biggest problem, followed by gas getting in the oil, won't get the aluminum bits from the head, but it won't hurt...
