pomey Regular Location: Adelaide Registered: May 2005	Some good advice for anyone with a motor! Tue, 04 October 2005 07:42 Hello modders, I've just finished re-building my 18RG with help from a very experienced motor enthusiast. He told me to get a speaker magnet roughly the same width as my oil filter and stick it to it to the top of the filter with duct tape. The reason being, as the internals rotate, move or whateva, they create tiny metal filings. Now these should be caught by the oil filter but not always. The magnet however attracts them to the top of the filter, keeps them there and hey presto, a significant reduction in filings and also wear on the engine bearings etc. Now i'm sure some people have already thought of this but if not, i think it will prove very useful for the extension of engine life. If anyone has any more simple yet effective ideas please feel free to add them. I know i'm a novice and still have a lot to learn! Cheers, Pomey! [Report message to a moderator]
