magnetic story

had a magnetic tray
and used it when I put a new timing belt/water pump tensioner on a 1.8l audi turbo.
I put everything back together and got a timing code.
Replaced the hydraulic chain adjuster.
changed the belt adjuster I had it apart 4 times thinking i did not do the timing properly

i noticed that the timing cup on the end of the cam shaft was magnetized as a nut attached to it by accident.
Wel I found that this should not be magnetized, I replaced the cup (10 dollars i think) and never got another timing code.

so i threw out all of the magnetic trays for parts and only use plastic.
i realize that the my 75 911 does not have any cam device but if the newer 911's do i would throw the magnetic trays into the garbage.
