I did notice the few places (2?) that had the kit wanted something like $25 for it.

I was going to suggest the ones on ebay, but the Prima kit has three parts (including a magnetic plug for the gearbox) and would give increased coverage over the drain plug alone. (hope they come out with more)

Just as long as your engine case is aluminum it will work fine,
but when your case is metal, you might actually magnetize the case, and then the flakes will remain in the engine compartment, which could be very bad!

Well prodigit, that's why i went with the drain plug i posted on. I'df like to know if this set-up is just a refrig/washer magnet. for around $10. i have to ask. |

(hope they come out with more) Are the crank and gear plugs magnetic? If I remember correctly, all three parts are magnetic. The one for the gearbox collects the shavings as the gear teeth intermesh. |
