6k miles? betcha they didn't even find .001" wear. that'll amount to a couple of feathers. Shocked

I forget the details. It may have been some multiple of 6,000 miles that was a significant part of the life of the engine.

A little Google-Fu turns up http://www.triumphspitfire.com/Oiltest.html 60,000 miles.

Limited amount of GM models I've seen were factory installed. Wonder what year the Savage/S40 started using a factory installed magnetic plug?

I have overhauled many a (automotive) manual trannys and rear ends that had pcs of teeth laying in the bottom. Unlike engines, I see a reason for a mag plug in all gear boxes.

If I can about face a little,.....considering that the Savage engine is a gear box that is subject to abuse , I can't say that there is not reason to run a mag plug.

The only problems I can see with using a schmagnet:
1. You have to use money to get one.
2. There have been isolated incidents of the magnet coming off inside the cranckcase.

Aside from those pretty small problems, I would think most folks would be all aglow inside pondering how the metallic clouds in the oil are all wandering over to the schmagnet and sticking to it,.. creating a ferritic beard to be wiped off at the next oil change,... patting themselves on the back about all the danger they spared their trusty steed.

If you think there's good in everyone, you haven't met everyone.
