I just replaced intake gaskets, head gaskets and the rest of the kit then put the engine back together when I started it back up it began to pop what sounded like popcorn then it stopped for a minute then it started doing it until I shut off the engine could it possibly be that I didn't reinstall the distributor properly?

Probably........... How did you determine the correct position.

Is the check engine light on and have you read the codes?

P1345?

That means that you're going to need a professional scan tool to get the distributor set right.
