Please forgive me if this is an unchallenging question, but i'm an electrical engineer looking to give my automotive pride and joy a new berth of life!
I have converted my Suzuki Sierra (known as a Samurai in other parts of the world) to run straight LPG and all has been running swimmingly for the last two years. But alas, time has come to rebuild.
On the side I have a G16A (1600cc 8v engine) I plan to rebuild to stock specs (unless specified otherwise), i'm running an Impco CA100 propane mixer, and the dizzy timing has been re-curved to suit the LPG fuel. I'm concerned that I may have issues seating in the rings of a freshly rebuilt motor on LPG, being a dry fuel i'm not sure if I need to take precautions during the breaking in process, or if I should avoid an LPG break in all together.
Whilst i'm aware of the general breaking in process, LPG information is extremely limited and any tips that can be forwarded my way would be greatly appreciated. I love my ride and it's my first and only car.
Thanks in advance for any pointers
