Gold Plug AP-10 is the one you want (same M16 thread as the sump plug).
There's a magnet inside the box too.
The usual crunching is the synchros which aren't magnetic, so the only likely metal bits you'll pick up is general gear wear or actual pieces if it's bad 😅
You're talking 2000nm on the big guns now.
So accessible and the fact you don't have to have a compressor and traipse around with an airline is a nice thing.
You could do a leakdown test which is more thorough than a compression test.
You'll need to lock the flywheel though to stop the engine being turned over from the compressed air.
You need something like this mate.
It bolts to the block and meshes with the flywheels teeth so that you can torque the bolts up.
@NorthloopCup made his own iirc.
It delays the heat long enough for it to be cooled.
I can't remember the figures, but i think they can stop upto 60°c. So if you're borderline boiling your fluid 60°c would make the difference.
