 \def\header#1#2{
 \headline={\vbox{\hbox to \hsize{{\strut\bigfont #1} \hfill {\littlefont #2}}
  \vskip 2pt
  \hrule height 2pt}}
 }

With the insertion of \strut just before \bigfont kept the rule
exactly at same location in all page headers.  Sorry, I could not
replicate your problem.  I do not have cmbx14, instead I have used
cmbx12, that is the only difference I can see.

Best regards
