Try dropping your timing back some, ~6 degrees is best. It sounds to me like you have valves sticking open, or weak valve springs.

Yes your problem is valve/timing related, whether it be a burnt valve, a bad cam lobe, or a timing chain that has jumped. In the worst case, you may have a hole in the top of a piston as well.
