Anyone know of a source for magnetic drain plugs for Healey engine/gearbox? Or, if not an easy source of short magnets that can be added to std plugs? Also, anyone know of a source for 1 1/2 inch di

Try British Car Specialists for the magnetic drain plug for the engine. Dan White '62 BN7 MkII Listers, Anyone know of a source for magnetic drain plugs for Healey engine/gearbox? Or, if not an easy
K & J magnets (www.kjmagnetics.com) part # RX4C2 is a 1 1/4" x 3/4" x 1/8" ring magnet for $3.25 that works perfectly in the OD drain plug. Bruce Steele 1960 BN7 Brea, CA -- Original Message -- From:
I just bought one but the literature that comes with it states that the magnet loses its magnetic properties at 175 degrees F. Would this cause a problem of itsy bitsy metal particles then being able
happened to think of something: those with screw-on oil filters might want to try the ring of magnets that fasten around the oil filter; maybe both items~~~who knows !!!!! Avail. most places--get the
I find this statement on the site: N -0.12 176:F (80:C) 590:F (310:C) 7.7 NM -0.12 212:F (100:C) 644:F (340:C) 7.7 NH -0.11 248:F (120:C) 644:F (340:C) 7.7 I am not sure that this is saying the magn
FYI engine oil can and does see 240F. Oil temp will vary with the engine design, how the engine is being operated, ambient temp, and if there is an oil cooler installed. Rick Sent from my iPhone ____
I still think that 240 is pretty hot but in any case I found this magnet which is supposedly okay for up to 302 degrees, so it should be okay for drain plugs: _http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.
The magnets are for the tranny drain plug. There is no filter in the tranny or OD. John Sims, BN6 Aberdeen, NJ http://www.healey6.com From: Richard Dryman [mailto:rdryman1@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday,
The magnet in question is used at the drain plug in the Tranny. NOT the engine oil drain plug which, since there is a filter, does not need a magnet to separate the metal particles as does the tranny
I obviously went to the wrong post:"Robert Blair, Oct 18" asked about it for Healey engine/gearbox . I was responding to the first item, not the second item. If that was the wrong original post, I am
While I understand that the TRANNY might not get to 240F you apparently did not read Michael's post for detail. He said "temps but neither engine, transmission or differential oils should ever get to
80C does not sound to high to me for an oil temperature in a transmission at high speeds and loads. I guess you would need a magnet that can survive 120C+. Kees Oudesluijs NL John Sims schreef: _____
I took note of the temperature caveat when I purchased the magnet. I plan to test the magnet when I drain the tranny/OD oil at my annual maintenace in December after 6 months or so of use. We'll see
Is the theory that it neutralizes it permanently, or just temporarily while it's at that high temp? _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html He
I do not have an oil temperature gauge nor oil cooler mounted on my Healeys. However I do have an oil etemperature gauge and oil cooler mounted to my Elva race car (MGA engine), I monitor OT during
