What causes a backfiring exhaust on a 350 cubic engine?
Thankfully, because both of these components are on top of Chevrolet’s 350 small-block engine, checking them is quite easy.

Can a backfiring on an engine cause damage?

What causes an engine to backfire after a compression stroke?
On the other hand, retarding the spark too much after the cylinder compression stroke will not only cause engine to lose power and waste fuel, but can also lead to exhaust backfire (aka afterfire). This is because flames from the combustion can jump through an open exhaust valve and cause unburned fuel to explode in the exhaust system.
What causes an intake back fire in an engine?
