[Ducktail]

I haven't found this topic and I don't know where to ask, but this seemed like the best choice.

I'm just about done getting a new engine in my 911, and am keeping the original (2.7) to include for originality, should I ever sell (never planning to, but ya never know).

So, with the spare 2.7 rolling around on a dolly, anyone know the best way to mouseproof it? I have aluminum foil, aluminum tape, all sorts of rags and towels (which make great nesting materials, I've discovered), sprays, solvents, moth balls, etc.

At this point, I'm thinking of using the aluminum tape on the exhaust ports and aluminum foil in the intake. I'm just worried the aluminum will react with the magnesium and other metals...

And can we limit it to folks who have actual experience? I've read so much on mouse-proofing, most of it from non car sites or about mouseproofing your whole car, my head is spinning. That's why I'm asking here, where folks probably have an extra engine rolling around their garage...

Best,
