well id rather have snakes and other critters that eat mice than mice...never heard of a cat or a snake destroying an engine... ive had to kill several this year with a sledge hammer. Usually just kill em and toss em in the open yard. Bird or cat usually finds it - circle of life haha. Im not really one for killing things that i aint gonna eat (except spiders mosquitos and ticks) so i like to do it the painless way possible, get em trapped in a metal bucket and hover the sledge over them and drop it. If i didnt have a fear of ricochet BB's or pellets taking out a neighbors window or my car windows id be having too much fun but dont get me wrong, most things are fun to pet but better to chew

my original engine would have probably been OK if mice hadent gotten to 2 of the cylinders, 2 valves were completely corroded off from the inside and one piston was very pitted. got the engine to move tho. Bored way to big already unfortinately. Block seems to be good so it is rebuildable but gonna need alot of work (new sleeves pistons etc)
