The GM engines have hardened valve seats anyway so no additives required as long as the LPG is set up correctly.

If, and only if, the LPG is to blame then it wasn't correctly set up and must be leaning out too much, causing too much heat in the combustion chamber

TBH if it's not a multipoint system, don't bother fitting it as it will cause problems...

When you get a chance try to find out what make system it is and someone may be able to help :y :y
