Stop in for a cup of coffee

After the engine had cooled a minute or two, I thought I'd crank the engine over a little to try to circulate the coolant a little. I disconnected the coil and cranked.

The engine coughed and backfired. I suppose the heads were hot enough to ignite at 10:1 compression.

Is that something I should worry about?
nah - you should have heard the GDed back firing I dealt with last time I put the engine back in - OY!!! - but it's running fine now.
