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...

Quote:

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...

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

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

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

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

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.

Take it to pm guys,

Kulula, have a look here

How nice of you to share your thoughts with me in your lovely e-mails tonight Steve.
Since I have publicly asked you to never contact me, I guess this amounts to cyberstalking. [and intimidation]

Tell me Steve, how's the state of your health. A bit stressed lately? You seem to be under a bit of duress & taking it out on those fine people that make up the body of our membership. You seem to think that everybody is against you.

It's infamy, INFAMY, I hear you say. they've all got it in for me.
EVERYBODY is a bleating sheep, everybody except you & me. I'm just a [expletive deleted] & I suppose you are the shepherd who's wise guidance & council will prevail.

No Sale.
Like the rest of us, you're just another sheep in the flock, another ant on the nest, another fish in the school, another psycho in the rubber room, ............. of life.

Tell me Phunk, were you the school bully? My money says, ... you were.

P.S.
How about another one of those wonderfully artfull FAKE PM's that you do so badly. You were caught red handed with that fraudulent piece of artwork last time. Come on, fake another one but shoot the picture in natural light so we can see your nasty handiwork more clearly next time.

You talk so high & mighty about guts & owning up, then lets see your form & own up to that.

You're all piss & wind.
Baaaa

So why comment on something you know nothing about?

As for many members. How many in the past have actually been alias's of jerkoff?
Jerkoff is gutless and not man enough to own up to anything. Dont worry jerkoff, the real members see and read all and have minds of their own, even if you think you are wiser than all.
