Magnetic Oil Drain Plug?

[OUTFXD]

For those not in the know,  I found Metal files in my oil. 

 

In an effort to save the motor. I plan on flushing the motor to get as much as possible out.

 

Started Looking for a Magnetic Oil Drain Plug Thread Pitch 7/8x14.

 

The local Parts Hauses have nothing and every search I do tries to sell me Plugs with Metric Thread pitches.

 

Anyone have a lead on one that will fir our cars?

You can push into the pan a nice strong magnet and leave a string wrapped around the plug  threads or just leave it inside to capture anything close to the edge so you can fish it out later with your finger.

Just get a round magnet, smaller than the hole in your pan.  Clean the drain plug well. lightly sand or grind the plug end, clean magnet, mix a dab of JBWeld, stick 'em together.  Done.

That is the kinda thing I like!  Thank you!

Vintage Power Wagons sells them - about $20 w S&H. Or they used to be before everything doubled lately.

   My parts books have a 50722 part number, for the drain plug, and it is a 7/8x18. A magnetic one comes up on eBay using that number. The copper and asbestos crush gasket is 105456. Just thought I would give you additional information if you buy another plug. Rick D.

I did the same thing kencombs recommended. Had a round magnet that I attached to the drain plug using The Right Stuff gasket maker from Permatex. It's a really strong RTV sealer. The magnet stuck to the drain plug well on its own, the RTV just gave it a little extra help.

I'm wondering what your oil filter looks like and what's in the bottom of your oil pan?

i replaced oil pan gasket and found about 1.5 inches of sludge. very thick used putty knife to remove bulk

of it. i  found a round brass piece i think from dipstick tube it is same size as tube

a magnet would not have helped without cleaning pan first

The Dorman 090010 drain plug, listed by dorman as fitting, has the wrong thread pitch.  See picture compared to old plugs
