('99 Cav, 100K)
Changing my oil today, I noticed what appear to be metal filings on the tip of the (magnatized???) drain plug. I think I would have noticed this before, if they'd been there. But, you never know.
- Is the drain plug supposed to be magnetized? I don't remember that, either. I suppose it would be a good way to tell if you had metal filings, but other than that, ...
- I recently had to replace the cam position sensor (CMP). The replacement was from a junkyard, but I got it from the same year and engine, and it looked the same. The interesting thing is, the CMP _is_ magnetized. Possible clue?
I guess I should take the CMP out and look at it. Alas.
Any thoughts appreciated.
