Default Re: Mouse motor check it out

I bought an engine that would only turn about 45 degrees either way, assumed it was a stuck valve(s). Nope, packrats had dropped acorns down in the timing cover.

I get that it's a safe, enclosed spot, but the stench must have been awful, and they must have been coated with sludge.
