Had a similar situation happen to us at Bonneville a few years back. We were running an Ardun in a 28 Roadster. Well the car makes a record run. We’re off to impound. But before getting to impound we discovered 3 missing nuts on the intake scoop. Did think much about it. Well we let car cool down, celebrating taking in Bonneville experience, setting a record and being in impound. Finally time down to business. We put a breaker bar on the crank nut to rotate the crank....Guess what the crank will only rotate about a full turn and lock up. Well we missed the attempt to set the record that day. Hawled the car back to our pit, pulled the heads and found 2 of the missing nuts. It could have been worse, cause the nuts didn’t find there way down the cylinders while traveling 190 mph. We put the engine back together and ran a record run the following day. Willie Glass (RIP) still holds that record.
