Subject:      Re: Drain Plug? What's a Drain Plug?

Many of you drain-plugless vanagonites may already know this, but Bob
Hoover wisely suggested that I attach a powerful magnet or a series of
magnets to the bottom of the drain plate to catch any metal shavings that
might be wandering around in my oil. A definite good idea. Bob noted that
you can attach them with a drop of superglue if you need to.

BTW, I'm assuming the outside of the plate would be the better location
than the inside, for relatively obvious reasons. 8) Joe
