Peculiar goings on in an exhaust port!
Permalink  
 

I was just stripping out a cylinder head tonight and found a couple of very odd "things" under an exhaust valve - see photos below.

I thought first off they were shells but I crushed them and the walls were thick and crumbly - almost like rotten wood.

Any ideas what they are or were?

Common over here 

Good old wasp nests 

Get them in my road jacket as it doesnt get used .

Also my old Yamaha jog scooter it was the first thing I'd check for little buggers would build a nest in the exhaust and block it
