plugs, leads and tune

LPG is incredibly hard on ignition systems, they need to be in good order.
And no just because it works on petrol doesn't mean it should work on LPG

do you think that a head gasket could be the problem aswell? because i've heard they can cause the same issue...

try the cheaper things first. like it's been mentioned LPG is hard on ignition systems. take it from me. my eb is on LPG. when i bought it, it ran like s**t. put some LPG plugs in and and new leads. all sweet.

make sure you put lpg plugs in it

Buy the best leads you can afford and buy LPG-specific plugs with a gap of between 0.7-0.9mm. While you're at it, check the rest of your ignition - distributor etc.

get a set of Eagle series 2 eliminators. I had topgun LPG leads but the boots didn't seals around the plugs properly, in wet weather the spark would track down the outside of the plug cause a missfire and common backfiring. I ended up fitting a set of MSD plug boots to them and replaced the terminals at the same time (topgun need to buy a better crimping tool). haven't had any issues since.

I've never had good results with Bosch and LPG.

Yeah?

Would love to personally know how a leaking head gasket causes a back fire...

Esp if nothing is leaking out... You done a compression test on it to know that the heap gasket is leaking from a cylinder?

have you checked the timing?

Have you checked the coil with HEI test plug?

Have you checked the button and the cap for wear

Have you measured the lead resistance?

Snow your asking yourself if its the head gasket?

So you've checked compression to know its bad?

They have checked compression to know its bad?

You know its not the electronics how?

Could be the LPG computer for all you know? Has it been diagnosed if its possible?
