Head swap now popping from exhaust
I just completed my cnc head swap and now I’m getting a loud pop from the exhaust. Can’t figure out what’s going on. No cel, new plugs, can’t find a vacuum leak, injectors are firing, no strange noise. It’s only when idling. When i put a light load it goes away. Has anyone experienced this?

Sounds like you might possibly have an exhaust leak or an exhaust valve leak, hopefully it's not the latter.

I think the plug was defective. I pregapped them and didn’t notice anything. Must of had a hairline fracture.
