On reading what Kiwi said, reminded of the exhaust valve problem.

Years ago we had the contract for a fleet of Sherpa vans ( "o" series engines ) that ran on LPG.
They were fine for around 60-70k ( 6 months running), then they started to burn exhaust valves.
After many rebuilds, Rover group came up ...

Can't you sill mount the tanks like the Disco's ?

I saw a Manta rally car with a v8 in it. The tubular exhaust manifolds were a real work of art.

I currently have a big stupid grin on my face

Anyone got one to give away ?

Cheers for that Alley Kat, i guess i'll just keep reading
