No love for the System 1 type filters or the Clear View see through mounts?

I Saw 2 instances of the system one filter blow the o-ring out and both were during dyno testing...…

One was a dirt track engine and one was a Pro Stock 500 cube engine. Made a mess......

I used a System1 filter on my dirt track Sprint car back in the ninties. Never an issue with O rings, but did not filter as well as a NAPA (Wix) 1061. I sent my spare filter with my friend at the Sunoco lab when they did the oil filter tests I had mentioned.
Taking them apart for inspection & cleaning was easier & more convient than cutting a filter apart. Did not filter as well.

Here's a link to some high heat magnets. Magnets lose their magnetism when heated up and they don't regain it.
Here's a good source and some good info on magnets.

I can tell you if you buy some of these you will be amazed. They aren't toys and it sounds crazy but you can get a blood blister real easy with some of the disc magnets they are so strong. If you stick them together you will have to slide them apart or use pliers to get them apart.

KJ Magnetics has got to have the largest selection of anyone! I have bought magnets from them for the past 16 years. From the tiniest magnets I used with Hall Effects for RPM pickup to magnets that could probably lift a car!
