Jeff, you can bend/break a valve when running no manifold or a large leak. Cool air is drawn back into the engine from the exhaust side exposing these surfaces to extreme temperature changes. The backfiring problem should disappear with the new header gasket. RR is right, the mixture is probably lean.
