oil slappers

Post by dinosbunny » Thu Sep 12, 2024 10:59 pm

Since I am getting rid of the mag on the car I am installing oil slappers. My question is, how many oil slapper would you use, 2,4,6 or 8. Wondering if to many slappers will increase the pressure and not enough will not move the oil.

Thanks in advance

One thing often overlooked when removing magnets is keeping the triple gear pins in place. Magnets keep the pins from backing out. Now I personally have not had that happen, I have seen the results.
When ever I remove magnets for someone, I require installation on a retaining ring.

Dan,

I'm not saying that's not a valid concern, but I've got to question any triple pin that would tend to back out in the first place. If it's loose enough to back out, there's already trouble brewing and it'll reveal itself eventually, retaining ring, or not.
