[Tigers] magnetic drain plug /US Magnet source

[drmayf]

You know the magnets do not have to be all that powerful either. One 
step further is to stick a slab of the refrigerator magnet material to 
the outside of the oil pan to trap the particles. Doesn't do any good on 
bronze cam drive gears or no ferris materials however.
