The snap is probably just the valves popping back with the springs.

Next time remove the cap torques more evenly.

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.
