Is there a crank vent into the air filter? I ran into a chevvy once that blew it's rocker covers off when a back fire camre down the vent pipe into the crank anf blew the rockers off. I fixed those, but later he blew the pan off.

I guess I would check the crank vent system to be sure it is flowing, not allowing fumes to build up inside the engine. Smell the oil on your dipstick. And also make sure the carb is not runnning so rich it is makeing more fumes than the vent handles, building up fumes in the filter, til a little backfire ignites them and blows the filter off...
