but not becuase of the lack of back pressure. only way your going to do somthing like that is neligencee on the build of breakage.. o the word that i ment to put erlier is retainers (holds=reatainers)

i have seen it happen to peoples cars just running straight pipes on a car that isnt a race engine that has 65k to 85k on the motor they say they sisnt know that is could suck a valve when they needed a rebuild.

what sucking a valve means to much suction at one end or anouther will will a valve down to far and bend it. or pull it out of the head compleatly and damage the engine do to lack of back pressure. if you run a car just a muffler and headers your fine running a car for a long periods with out.

Only way a valve is going to bend is if it makes contact with the piston- it sounds like you are describing valve float due to too light or worn of valve springs for an application.

Also, wouldn't less back pressure actually help hold the exhaust valve in better? Think about it, lets say you have all kinds of mufflers, cat, resonator, etc on the car- and the exhaust has a hard time getting out- so lets say you have 10psig of pressure in your exhaust manifold (random number thrown out there), that 10 psig would be trying to push the exhaust valve off its seat. Now, cut everything off and straight pipe it- and say you lose all your backpressure- and the exhaust valve is at atomspheric pressure- or 0 psig. This should mean that the exhaust valve would actually have an easier time staying pulled into the head with less and less back pressure- even if you go so far as to say you end up with a vacuum on the exhaust side, that would actually help pulling the valve clsoed.

why do you think drag cars rebuild there engens every time the event is over that is one big reason the outher is the set up.

I strongly disagree here- they aren't rebuilding because their valves are bent. They are rebuilding due to metal fatigue- at those extreme power numbers, stuff wears far faster than normal, and stuff gets stretched and twisted to levels never seen in a street car. If that was the main reason, why wouldn't they run mufflers and just not rebuild the engines?
