I did the outside magnet trick
a while ago,
the dipstic broke in my small
block chevy engine and i did want
to remove the oil pan at that moment,
so, i grabbed the magnet form an old
speaker,stick it to the bottom side of
the oil pan and added some duct
tape to be sure it will stay there,
Two months later when i serviced my
engine, i left the magnet attached to the
oil pan and removed the oil pan,
the dipstic was there so was a bit
of iron dust too....
It wasn`;t pretty but it worked very well
