New magnets. Rated for higher temp. Plugs made and installed.

Here is hoping.

Yup, but there is nothing above the drain plugs to worry about. So, go big or go home?

Spare plugs built.

. Should be good for a long time.

My question is: is the magnetic force strong enough to hold onto the residue in the case of oil pump pumping the oil at its full capacity?

Feel like it could be hazardous for the engine if the accumulation of residue were to be sucked into the oil pickup all at once.

I don’t see that as an issue. I have magnetic plugs in all my cars and there is always fuzz stuck on them when I change the oil. The oil pump pickup is not sucking the fuzz off them.

There is no way the oil velocity will be high enough around the magnet to dislodge any metal particles. These magnets are strong like bull.
