Good to know this board still has members with a sense of humor....

Previously my tranny bolt didn't pick up as much but ever since I went with a KAAZ 1.5 clutchpack LSD.....it looks like a freaking porcupine....

I have also added a magnetic belt to my oil filter so the mag bolt on the drainpan isn't as nasty as some of my friends....

I know SnyperSiR who is also on Honda-tech didn't change his oil for the LONGEST time....and it was totally bunk when we removed it.... we kinda sat there in awe.... wondering how his motor was still running......!

I almost wanted to hack his oil filter open to see what kinda mess was inside!

Yes, they're absolutely worth it. You'd be amazed how much it catches.

Yeah, I just put mine in this summer. I can't believe how much crap they pick up. I don't know if you need them, but it makes me feel better at night.

You don't necessarily need a Spoon one. Just go to any autoparts store and you should be able to find a magnetic drain bolt. I found one at Pepboys for about $5. HTH.

honda engines are aluminium right??? So how does the magnetic bolt attract these aluminium particles?
