Magnetic Drain Bolts

[valvolin]

i bought this kit:

There are two bolts: once it's shorter than the other....

But which is for the oil pan?

 

[olly ek9]

shorter for the gearbox,, teh long one will clip on eitehr the diff or teh crownwheel if you stick it in teh gearbox,, wait for raginangel to reply he has mentioned this before

Ok, the score for the moment:

3 person long in oil
1 person long in transmission

imo theres more clearance in the oil pan than in the tranny... so make sense to me that the long one goes in the oil and short one in the tranny, however... this isnt 100% sure... still trying to find nifo on internet

on the weekend i put a long one in my ek9 oil pan and and a long one in the oil pan of my mates integra, and put short ones in the gear box of both cars as well,
both cars are fine,no problems!
what olly says is correct, with out a doubt!.

i hve the Spoon short magnetic bolt on the tranny & the longer one in the oil pan...

i think its common sense due to the clearence like mentioned above by 'Gekkey'

 

[valvolin]

Thanks to everyone!

BUT PICTURES DONT LIE
do they

 

[GekKey]

Image do lie sometimes.

 

[blinx9900]

IMAGE IS WRONG!! if you put the long one in your gearbox expect a rebuild VERY soon!!

LONG ONE GOES IN OILPAN
SHORT ONE GOES IN GEARBOX

why is one longer than the other in the 1st place?
Would cause less confusion if they were the same size. And still do just as good a job i would imagine....

the longer the magnet, the larger surface area to gather unwanted filings

as in oil pan there are no clearence concerns, its the longest of the too

Gearbox magnetic sump plug - M factory type.
After 10000km with a Kaaz LSD in the EK4 gearbox I required to change the oil. This was what I found stuck all over the magnet..lots of iron powder, a huge wedge of it.


The chinese man in the background was interested too..
