40, for your trick with the blow gun, is the idea to try and blow the debris out the open valves? I'm trying to picture where it will all go once it starts blowing around.

Since the air is entering at the bottom of the cylinder, it will blow back out the spark plug hole or an open valve. Blow out each cylinder, then turn the engine so two pistons are at the top then blow again, then turn the other two up. Mouse nest debris is soft and will burn/blow out when the engine is started. If the debris is sand/dirt you need to be more thorough. If you have oil in the cylinders it may be helpful to spray carb cleaner in the cylinder and then blow it out so grit isn't held in by the oil.
