the screen used in the lifter gallery in the picture is in my opinion much too small/fine,
as it will tend to slow or restrict oil flow rates back to the oil pan.
the larger screen linked below will still catch most metallic crap/debris
yet not restrict return oil flow rates, as the holes are about a 10th inch square openings

Ive generally used hardware stainless screen epoxied over oil drain...

keep in mind, there are dozens of magnet vendors, shop carefully, and select the proper magnet for the application,
if your going to use magnets in any engine ,
shop carefully and verify the type of magnets and the temperature range they will function correctly in,
oil temps can and do, exceed 250 to- F-320 F at times
and the common neodymium magnets loose the ability to pull metallic debris from the oil flow at 200 f -250 f
yes I've told a great many people about the benefits of placing several high quality ceramic or similar high quality high heat tolerant magnets inside an engine,
no...

Ok ok, here I am again. Angry. My engine will not agree with me no matter what I try to do. So here's what's going on. 350 with a .040 over bore. 64cc aluminum heads, about 9.5:1 compression (Static) port matched intake and heads, single plane high rise intake, 750 CFM carb. I can not get the timing to agree with me it would seem. If I set it to where it performs the best, I can't cruise in the car because it just misfires and spits and generally runs like crap. If I give it even the slightest bit of throttle, it smooths out...

nothing else you can add or do to any engine will increase long term durability , or will work as well as regular oil and high quality filter changes with new oil and filters at least every 7-8K miles with good quality synthetic oil and realistically every 4-5 k miles gives much better results

I'm running 5w30 mobile 1 and this moly additive,
in my truck, and so far, it seems to be working just fine
but I have been changing oil and filter about every 5k-6k miles

just a tip I found, works well, after use of a partial AR15 bolt carrier dis- assembly, and cleaning with HOPPES #9
solvent and a stiff toothbrush, (obviously clean the bore, chamber etc as usual) I found dropping all the partially disassembled AR15 bolt carrier assembly,parts in a 2.5 gallon zip lock bag ,
with a tablespoons worth of the oil additive liqui-moly and a tablespoon of synthetic motor oil ,allows you to effectively smear a great deal of the moly/oil combo over most of the moving parts of the AR15 bolt carrier assembly very effectively while making considerably less...
