I have a 6 cylinder 109 ex-army Land Rover which was converted to run
on Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG-Propane) by its previous owner.
Like ULP, LPG has no lead and burns very dry. I have had the engine
correctly tuned using a dyno (it still does not produce any power though)
I have done about 10000km (6000miles) and have not yet had any problems.

And Now the Question? Is is possible to buy hardened exhauset valve
seats for the old 2.6 6cyl engine? I was also told that stainless valves
would be OK.

Any ideas? In Australia, LPG is approximately half the price of leaded
petrol and this makes the old girl quite economical so I am keen to keep
the engine running on LPG if I can.
