OK,

Installed a single plane hi rise manifold on a small block chev. Reinstalled the standard Rocherster Q-jet on top (the holley was still being rebuilt) and didnt locktite the screws at the base of the carb.

You guessed it, one of them rattled out, got sucked into an intake valve, did some rigerous bouncing around inside the combustion chamber and then exited via the side of the piston sleeve.

I was only 19.........not prepared emotionally for this kind of trauma.
