LPG Conversion on 1993 Nissan GQ 4.2 EFI

I am getting a LPG conversion on my 1993 Nissan Ti Patrol with a 4.2 EFI next week. I plan on also getting an upper cylinder lube kit installed also.

The car is also running a snorkel setup as well.

Am I likely to have any problems with this setup and do the rumours about cracking heads with LPG or leaning out the air gas ratio with the snorkel have any merit to them.

Regards,

Ben

Why is that? Will it not do anything in keeping the cylinders in good nick.

I had this on my 3.5 V8 Discovery as a previous owner had installed it.

I had my 92 EFI converted to straight gas a little while ago.

They said they could put the upper cylinder lube setup in if I really wanted it, but its not needed. I figure they wouldnt tell me that for nothing. In fact I thought they would have wanted the extra $$$ ;)

So, apparently its not needed. That was from THE GAS MAN in Sydney
