ill take the valve cover off and run it and see if any of the valves are sticking. im still positive its some kinda timing issue because the first time i set it it was popping like crazy even on idle. but now that ive set it yet again it doesnt pop on idle anymore, just on rev up and holding high rpm. ive checked everything and it idles pretty much flawlessly except it might pop like once or twice at complete random. once i get the exhaust on ill give it the break in run that might help too. my best guess is play with the timing again and obviously check the valve clearances and re oil them again. just thought id play it safe and ask around. also the popping is at complete random so i cant figure out which valve is sticking (it might even be more than one)

if i can figure out how, ill record a video and post it up here, its a weird phenomenon that i tried my best to explain. sorry for the grammar issues its way too late and my brain is really out of it.
