and have an extra magnetic drain plug that I've decided to use in place of the vent plug on my Alpha 1 Gen 2 upper. I had the bearing cap off and visually checked it out... the magnetic drain plug looks like it would work perfectly and has no clearance issues.

I think this may work fine as an extra measure of protection. Any thoughts as to the contrary?
I know there is a lot of action up top with those two gears spinning as fast as the engine so my only guess is any metal particulates or fine dust wouldn't probably stay on that magnet.

Thanks in advance,
Eddie"
