Can't figure out this popping sound.

Ignition timing? Too far advanced? Retarded?

Your paper exhaust manifold gasket is leaking. Use the correct "copper ring & gland" style.

Yep.

Pulled them off and there was a big tear on two of the ports. :evil:

Went back to the old ones and all is well.

Thanks!
