For some reason I don't think it would fit in/out of the ports/combustion chambers.

Re: Rat Nest in part of the intake

Lol, yeah I'm hoping it didn't get into any of my wires but I doubt it. I'll try to get pictures of it.. I had it put up for 3 1/2 months in a barn. There's some cotton, deer hair, leaves, with a mixture of a few small nuts.

Re: Rat Nest in part of the intake

Someone had said something about the fact that my SS hadn't been driven in a while...

I autocrossed the car all weekend (hood open after each run) and brought the car home sunday. I noticed this on the following Wednesday when I went to wash it and check all the fluids...

The RAT BASTARD got to it fast and knawed at it for quite a while.

I emptied the blue stuff out and added some green stuff (antifreeze)!!! Let's see how he likes drinking some of the sweet stuff.

Hell the blue washer fluid is pretty poisonous as it is. He may like the antifreeze more though

Just have Richard Gere visit you. That should scare them off.
