The metal tins that cover the heads and the flywheel shroud. Usually, after you start it for just a moment, the mice and mice nest shoot out and get hung up on the fins of the heads. If you leave them on there, then it prevents the engine from cooling properly since air does not pass freely over the heads. This heats them up and problems ensue.
Lots of ideas on how to keep mice away from engines on this forum. I have always had luck with old pantyhose filled with mothballs and garlic on top of the engine. Just remember to remove them before starting the engine or else your nose will be sorry.
