Think all lpg's have this problem.
Guy for the engine shop guessed it was a head from a lpg vehicles,saying they all do it.

Been told not to run it all the time on lpg

Probably can read & write it by OBD , but not sure on gains , it being normally aspirated, i have only tuned dual fuel mk6's .. will phone a friend & see if i can get any feedback from someone who has tuned them.. what are the engine details exactly , ps, cc etc?

1.8 16v 115ps black top zetec found in focus 98-05

Cool, the very same.,. thats good.. someone suggested a 130 throttle body & some hot cams in combination with a remap gives good gains.. will find out what can be had from remapping alone.. SCHIPS are quoting around 10ps & 10nm's i believe...

got the head back today,with the old valves.

no wonder it had a mis-fire, nice crack in the one on the left


all 8 valves badly pitted like this one


also the cracked one is abit out of shape


head as it looks now with 8 new exhaust valve and a £340.00 bill never mind i did get it cheap,and once running still works out to be a cheap van

Scrap the LPG Paul, everyone seems to report these kinda problems with the petrol/LPG connect

[valetech]

Spent the whole day on blingbus 2 today.
Got it all back together and up and running.

Think the timing is slightly out

Did your van sell on Ebay? The sport?

Did your van sell on ebay The sport?

No not really,got lots of silly offer and dreamer.



Well checked the timing yesterday,was slightly out on 1 cam.
Have done that now up and running spot on.

Fitted a set of sportvan sideskirts and started to make a huge front splitter.

Started stripping the sportvan down,removing all my coilovers rear shocks and strut brace

[airconman]

Sorry to hear that it didn't sell, some people are just dreamers aren't they I hate selling vehicles.

We need more pics

[valetech]

Of what? Think we all know what my sport looks like
