Oil drain plug width

You have a spare plug, even better. Is the end completely smoothed or raised where the threads end? Can you measure the inside surface less the threads for me. Thanks.

I stuck a magnet salvaged out of an old computer hard drive (free) onto the metal part of my oil filter. It seems to work very well there, and no chance of it getting loose inside the engine!

I'm rebuilding my KLX after a balance shaft bearing failure, one thing I noticed is the oil pump is damaged due to the metal particles that fitted through the brass gauze being pump though the motor, a magnetic sump plug will not stop all the particles but will give you a good indication that something is not right at oil change time, the magnet in the filter will catch the metal that the filter would have caught anyway.
