This engine may not have enough time on it yet to seat the rings completely yet.
It is still new.
Rings generally will seat within the first five minutes of operastion but the book says at least 500 miles. You need to give it time.
The popping is more likely carb related.
A blown power valve is a fuel leak and a vacuum leak at the same time.
It will create unstable idle and a rich idle fuel dumping situation.
You need to fix that first.

Doug,
The carb repair was done about 350 miles ago. The engine now has 6500 miles on it. I don't know that I would call it clouds of blue smoke, but it is not pretty watching it idle.
Thanks,
Art
