1) correct these engines use the solid tappets and they are less suited to LPG

2) setting the clearance is not so easy. the rocker cover holds the cams in so you need the tools to held the cams down for setting the clearance or you could make them.

3) no not possible, you will always have to remove the rocker cover and therfore remove the cams

It could well be possible to convert to the older hydraulic tappets

What I do use use a product called Flashlube. The electronic system is suitable for turbo engines. It pumps in a little special oil that helps to protect the valve seats


As to system choice BRC is harder to service and only BRC installers have full software access. Alex never been keen on. Both KME and Europegas work well and any good installer can service

The other thing you need to bear in mind is that you will need a calibrated petrol return line fitting as these cars use a fuel rail pressure sensor that needs to see a flow of fuel in the correct kind of level otherwise fuel trims will go out and the EML will come on
