I actually know someone in Maine that had mice go in through the tail pipe and actually made it past an open exhaust valve, then made a nest. When he went to start the car in the spring, the nest didn't compress so well, and caused enough block damage to need to be replaced. I saw photos of the cylinder wall cracked. The hardest part to believe is that his insurance co. actually covered the damage.
