I Thought These Things Came With Magnetic Drain Plugs

I thought for sure I saw people saying they came with one and that they found stuff on it during the first change. Anyway, mine wasn't. That's okay...UPS was late delivering my AMSEarl, so I just threw the plug back in and ran into AutoZoneout to get a magnetic one.

 

Engine seemed to make some noise on the way back, but I'v heard about the noisy lifters, so it didn't bother me. She's all filled up now...7.5 quarts + .0.5 for the filter like my GTO I presume.

 

Started her up, and she's not leaking from the filter, but something is dripping where the engine meets the transmission. Oh well...she's only got 1,000 miles on her, so I'm not worried about it. Ha...85% left on the oil monitor. Take that tree huggers!

WTH man?

 

You need to use the search button! The whole pan is magnetized and the dipstick tube has been passed through an inverse proportional degausser to drive the metal bits down to the pan. YOU NEED TO TAKE THE PAN OFF and drive it at 70 mph for 5 minutes to "flush" the freshest bits off the crank assembly.

 

f'n n00bs...When are you gonna learn?

FWIW, I did get some metal out of the oil, but nothin' to write home to mamma about. There was one big hunk that cam out. I didn't hit it with a magnet yet, but it just looked like the excess from the edge of a cast aluminum part.

 

I'll also be installing a Filter Mag on this one too.

The inverse proportional degausser was a nice touch :devil:

 

 

If you don't do the INVERSE proportional one...It'll blow your intake and bumper off!

What kind of gas mileage you getting with that intake setup?

 

Below the bumper area, is that a speaker of fresh air scoop or a new style snow removal add-on?

I'm a product tester for Klipsh horn technology. That "scoop" as you call it is one of their new RF-BCOP models. Affectionately known as the "BLOW THE CLOTHES OFF PEDESTRIANS" model. I'm currently putting it through it's paces.

 

Oh, and due to the refractive nature of doppler waves when they come out of the horn, they produce a constant low pressure bubble preceding the nose of the car. This not only negates any and all drag coefficients, it makes the interior of the car supremely quiet. Because of the little to no drag (there is some coming from the tires), this greatly reduces most of the resistance a vehicle meets, and my mileage has been in the triple digits since I installed it. Dropped 4 seconds off my 1/4 mile time too.

 

Yeah. Klipsch is THAT good.

I thought everybody knew that. I managed to hit 80 in mine, so I only drove for 4 minutes.

 

Wouldn't the engine cool better if I Left the pan off?
