@@KentuckyFriedFixes Same here! From cars that home fix-its, it has so many uses. The problem that I've seen with it are tge people who don't give it enough time to set. 24 hrs for a job like yours is perfect, but some jobs needs at least 48 hrs. 🍺😋👍
Ive always put a magnet on my drain plug on my vehicles! I took a Predator drain plug and drilled a hole through it and I clamped a 12" piece of tubing on it for hard to get to plugs when changing the oil in my karts.
@@KentuckyFriedFixes the inside of the stock 212cc engines are not that thick and sometimes you can see the little cracks in them so I just reinforced it with the JB
Thanks Dirty 77, those ready-to-go magnetic drain plugs online are kinda pricey and I do like saving money where I can. Love that new orange "01" bike build of yours! Top shelf!
I use paper shop towels for bolts in my sockets regularly for them hard to reach places I bought some extention while back from hf that were magnetic they have came in pretty handy might do this with some of my 3/8 SK time is money and the few seconds I save from running a screw driver getting the paper towel out adds up
Anything that saves me trouble is a good thing. I'm so glad I was introduced to these small magnets! I used to stuff sockets with grease to hold troublesome-to-reach bolts in place, no more!
Hi jdunn6092! This is an experiment based on another magnetic drain plug I took apart. The magnet on that one was held in place with epoxy as well. So far so good, nothing has come loose. I've had good luck with the 24 hour cure JB Weld epoxies inside these engines. I've used it for everything from patching holes in blocks to reshaping intake ports with good results. The rare earth magnets are really strong too. IMO there's not much risk of it coming off the drain plug.
dont know how i missed this one i got the fricin bell on smh thank god im nosey ill be doing this asap just in case some cyborg meat gets loose off up in her belly lol
I thought of this today and wanted to see if anyone else have done this. I have a question. Does the magnetic ever fall off inside the engine? That's what I fear
Hi SuppMikeR! I used JB Weld two part epoxy to mount the magnet onto the drain plug. I don't think JB Weld will fail for this task. The magnet is already pretty strong and holds onto the steel drain plug very well, I use the JB Weld epoxy as insurance.
@@JustifyJustin Hi Justin! Sorry for the delay but this didn't show up on my studio page. The magnet is held in place with epoxy to the end of the drain plug that is inside the engine. So it's actually on the drain plug side inside the engine bathed in the oil. Any metallic/steel particles will be collected on the magnet and can be cleaned off when you remove the drain plug to change the engine oil. It won't catch any aluminum but the aluminum specs are not as much concern as the bits of steel.
LOL! True! I'm a firm believer in JB Weld for personal use. There's no telling how many holes in Briggs blocks I've patched with that stuff. Thanks Rawb!
