General Car Chat / 3.0l headgasket stripdown started

« on: 18 April 2012, 16:27:44 »

Collected all the gaskets from vaux today(ouch) so started to strip the lpg estate. boy there aint half alot more stuff to take out with it having lpg on it.
looks like the coolant bridge has been leaking aswell, not to mention the cam covers.
spent nearly half as much as i paid for it on repairs, only had the bugger four months.
ahh well, onwards & upwards as they say.

Omega General Help / 3.0l lpg cutting out on gas.

« on: 27 February 2012, 17:05:03 »

Here goes, 3.0l auto on lpg, ive had some major coolant leaks, on closer investigation i found the coolant pipes in a right mess to the evaporator, T pieces all over the place with leaks on all joints due to different pipe sizes to the T pieces, so ive re-piped as ness(corectly). had the plenumn off & inlet manifold but not disconected any electrical conections on the lpg side.
went off to the midlands meet yesterday & all ran fine, gas showing all its lights, on the return, was giving it some boot & it died a death, complete to a stand. restarted on petrol...off down the road, switch to gas & died a death again but all lights showing a good tank of gas. ummm runs fine on petrol, should switch back to petrol with gas MT automatic but looks like its not. any ideas?>>>James.....help.
