Very well done on the LPG conversion. What are you doing about certification? I want to DIY LPG mine, but if I tell my insurance company, Directline - they will void my insurance if it's done DIY!

On to your issue, I strongly suspect cam timing is a few degrees out. It's definately the first thing to check, and won't take you long. I'm sure one of our Notts/Derby members could lend you a kit.

Aditionally, if you're unsure of cambelt/waterpump history, then this is a prime time to change it all!

If you do, though, check the timing before you take it apart, to satisfy yourself whether it was out, or not....

James - I made this mistake the first time I converted.  I was 1/2 way through the insurance year and they gave me 30 days notice that they were terminating the policy.  Since then I have made sure the insurance company I go with are 100% LPG OK and not anal like others.  For my recent V6 I made sure they were ok if I did the LPG conversion mid term, although upon verification just before I bought the kit they disputed this, so I asked them to dig out the initial recorded conversation I had with the sales nerd.  Needless to say they are ok with the conversion.

I'm half tempted to tell them nothing until it's done, and when they say "do you have the certificate of installation" just say "yes, I'll send it" and send them the Certificate of conformity from when I get it certified....
