I am getting ready to store the care for the winter. What do you use, if anything, to seal your headers so critters don't crawl up into the engine? I was looking for a rubber type plug online but didn't see anything. I saw plenty for dirtbikes, but nothing larger.

Thanks

my dragster has rain caps so i don't worry about that. personally i feel it's more important to oil/fog the engine and back off the rockers effectively sealing the cylinders. for actually capping/sealing the headers you could use just about anything from duct tape to a plumbers plug which should be easy to find

That's what I was looking for. I had a problem with mice crawling up in and building a nest. I just wanted something to close off the tubes

This one goes from 3 1/4" to 3 3/4". May be able to get something similar at a plumbers supply as mentioned above. If you have flanges, could just bolt a flat plate on.
