anyone out there!!
If its a little pop it might be normal, I started hearing a little pop from time to time in my Z once I started modding the exhaust. You'll have to look if you think you broke something, take off the valve covers to look for broken springs/rockers, do a leakdown to check for messed up valves.

not normal as it doesnt follow the lope. poppin in exhaust is un burnt fuel igniting so i guess ill look at springs- not push rod issue?
