Besides, if the schmagnet is catching chunks of steel, the owner has WAAYYY more problems than trivial discussions like these. He's headed for some major disassembly.

You just proved my point. If you're getting more than just fine ferrous paste, it's time to tear down BEFORE it grenades. I do agree, though, that they're less effective on motorcycles than on older, mostly steel autos. BTW, if you really want a good picture of what's going on inside your engine, get an oil analysis.

Proving each others' points doesn't generate much controversy, eh?

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

Niether my car nor my Pickup has one, but, almost every snowmobile I've owned had one on the Chaincase dipstick. Although the chaincase on a sled is a small compartment with a lot less moving parts than an engine. I believe the benefit of a magnet is to catch metal pieces before the oil pump can pick it up and send it back through oil galleries and possibly plug them. Huh

Id suggest that its there to protect the oil pump from being slowly eaten or possibly jammed by a lump of miniscule bits jarred loose by a poorly landed triple backflip with a gainer & a full twist.

Look at bicycle, skateboard, motorcycle & car stunts & those blasted X games & jet skis & snow mobiles,, MAN,, people have learned to really DO some crazy stuff)
