Upper Intake Popping Noise


There is a weird popping noise coming from the upper intake and then at the air filter but only under 1500 rpms, anything above that and it goes away. Does anyone have any suggestions wat it could be. Thanks

What do you mean by "shimming it like crazy"? Its not uncommen to stack a couple of shims. If you got the proload between .020 and .060 you should be fine. Did you check the sweep across the valve stem tip?
