I understand gas doesnt lubriate your valve seats(?).. so does this have a flow on effect to any parts of the T's engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tquarrell Member 181 Member For: 20y 3m 10d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 09/01/07 02:17 AM Share Posted 09/01/07 02:17 AM I don't know anything about converting to gas either, but just wondered if anyone has had any problems with it? I read somewhere a ford engineer said that stronger conrods were needed for the factory BA LPG motor as the DOHC head flows so well, if there's a back fire with LPG you can expect bent rods (SOHC heads wouldn't let enough gas in to cause damage apparently). Have these injected gas systems overcome the backfire possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 09/01/07 03:00 AM Share Posted 09/01/07 03:00 AM With injected lpg backfire is gone as there is no gas sitting in the manifold.I have tried to make them backfire and they will not do it.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think.. even though high octane does not directly mean higher powerprobabley because your burn more each stroke?

Posted 09/01/07 03:49 AM Share Posted 09/01/07 03:49 AM Due to it's high octane rate the spark retard would not be as much also gas has a cooling effect on the air intake.Less spark retard means potential for more power to be made.IanAlso with injected lpg there is no restriction in the intake as there is no mixer.
