no backpressure so the exhaust valve couldnt close?? does he not know that theres a VALVE spring in the head, around the VALVE, with a rocker arm bolted down and acts as a fulcrum point in conjunction with the exhaust valve and on the other end a pushrod, which goes to the cam with lobes on it that open and close the VALVE relating to the position of the pushrod on the cam..............you might want to find a new shop. haha
