What a load of tosh. LPG burns cooler than petrol (however it does not offer cooling that petrol does) No more stress is given to the engine and in fact engine life can be extended over what is expected when running petrol.
An example of this looking at Honda GX engines. On petrol we were seeing the work for about 500hrs and need a rebuild. 250hrs of running later and then would be too worn to repair. Changing to LPG only extended life to 1000-1500 hrs before needing a head gasket and minor repair. Final engine life would be 3000-5000 hours before the block would fail!
