Hi, There is certainly enough room under the clutch pack that those pieces should not pose a problem. The rotating parts in that area are well above the bottom of the pan. I have a feeling that the adjusting screw, along with the lock washer and the magnet will "nestle" together comfortably. Actually, I have a magnetic rod, that is part of the oil pump-out plug, that picks up a considerable amount of "magnetic sludge" between oil changes. If it were my engine, I'd simply replace the adjustment locking screw, along with a new lock washer and consider it fixed,
Tom
