Here is to hoping the aaz lasts longer and i don't forget/mess something up.
I do know that I drive torque, while listening to my friends prattle on about horsepower.

I think we are going to be moving the short bus to Surrey or Langley tomorrow. If I get Saturday off I might be able to help get the exhaust turbine housing apart. I'll also bring some deep creep to see if we can get it freed without heat.

Several even. not just one... its the cheapest and easiest extender of engine longevity. None of the bearing material (99%? of the metal that is normally in engine oil) is ferrous and so a magnet in the engine oil will not do much to prevent normal wear and tear.

I think what he is saying is the bearings are mostly lead. Not magnetic. The magnet is a good idea, as it gets the hard stuff. The lead is so soft I would hope it doesn't do much and then gets trapped by the filter.
Yeah, the actual bearing surfaces are non-magnetic and so the only actual magnetic material during normal engine wear comes from the vac pump gear, rod thrust surfaces and cylinder/ring wear. By the time you actual have any significant magnetic bits in the oil you've lost oil pressure and your engine is already done for.Intermediate shaft bearings are the only bearings in these engines that typically fail. I don't know if you can get the intermediate shaft out with the engine in place.
