The snap is probably just the valves popping back with the springs.
Next time remove the cap torques more evenly. _________________ Vaughan Scott

There is an order to tighten and loosen the camshaft. Same with crank main caps and head bolts. You tighten and loosen them incrementally in a specific order.
Get the Haynes manual, its cheap and specifies these things. |
