I have aquestion, earlier today I popped the hood at work on my Z28, and there was a mouse making a nest on my Intake manifold but the driver's side head. I cleaned the mouse nest off of my intake and noticed there was some dirt and a rock but the head where the intake manifold has a cut out on the head. Can this small rock and dirt get inside the engine ? If so my car is going to get some work done too it.

So what'd you do with the mouse?

 

The mouse took off after I popped the hood. ANd I started the car after he took off but now I am thinking that my nice LS1 is going tohave some dirt and a rock running through.

there is no way that the dirt can get into your motor. If you're really worried then get out your shop vac and suck it up

 

Thanks for the replies, I was worried about the shiznit going down in to the valley where it did, becuase I have never seen an intake manifold and heads have a gap like this LS1 does, plus I have never torn this engine apart Yet...

I think you need to drive you car a little more often, man.
