just did mine an hour ago at .38 car now sounds like an old diesel, i think the .38mm might be for a fresh motor, i try again @ 14 th. After i did the head on my car I lost 100km to a tank of 80ltr gas, mech said it must be the clearances.

whats good for LPG mine are set to 0.38mm as per specs but economy seems worse since i replaced the cylinder head................... 400km for 85Lt LPG on the highway, mine is AUTO and runs 33"s am I wasting my time getting it dynoed for better economy?

thanks brunsy
