Well, have changed the plugs this morning for NGK single electrodes and TBH there's no noticeable difference... I think the flat acceleration has improved slightly but hard to tell :-/ :-/ I did find that 3 of the plugs were a little loose (could have undone them by hand with just the extension bars :o :o) but nothing untoward really. A little oil in a 2 of the plug wells but I think it's old (from before the Cam Gaskets were replaced) as it was darker than the oil I drained and fairly minimal... I'll be keeping an eye though!
Anyway, I thought I'd post some pics of the plugs I removed...

These have done about 24k, 18k on LPG. Look good to me TBH :y :y
So, my initial conclusions are: Use GM plugs for LPG converted cars too as the seem perfectly man enough for it! I'll probably swap out the NGK's sooner rather than later for a set of genuine ones :y :y

They look fine.
Gm plugs are pretty good, certainly not worth fitting more expensive variants
-
My thoughts exactly, apart from the obvious oil contamination on the fist 2 ::) ::)... Only really went with NGK single electrodes as a trial for us LPGers... I doubt I'll run them for as long TBH as the GM ones are better :y :y :y

Would have thought that any oil left from doing your cam cover gaskets would have burnt away, perhaps they are leaking again :-?

That was my first thought but I'm not losing any oil between changes... And it was much darker than the oil which came out yesterday! Stays right on the mark :-/ :-/
I'll keep an eye on it and see what happens :y :y
