i have the same problem, only on certain mornings though

Does anyone think that possibly the exhaust valve isnt opening fully and collecting the combusted air untill it pops out the intake valve?

I was reading on another forum site that some guy had a similar problem and removed the heads and found a blown head gasket between 1 and 2. Could this possible cause the pop and if so, shouldn't I see some smoke (or water vapor) out the tailpipes? Could the kirban be going bad? When I adjust the Kirban, the gauge will move so does that mean it is ok? Also, I heard the kirban can be adjusted w/o taking the vac line off. Can someone confirm this? Thanks!

I set it with the vac on. So should I take the vac off and put it to 50? Also, can my Mass Air be too big? It is the big chrome Pro-M one..I have heads and cobra upper and lower though...
