Valve wear is down to heat and lack of lubrication in gas, this effect can be corrected by using a lube system such as flashlube. But to refer back to the maths it is still cheaper to ultimately refresh the head after high mileages. Only fit valvelube if the engine is known to be susceptible to rapid valve wear and to be honest I wouldn't choose a car like that in the first place for LPG use. I do my own conversions, it is by far one of the easiest mods you can do to a car. I bought what I needed either used or NOS on ebay for approx £100. If it's OK with the moderators we can start a thread on DIY LPG. :idea:

DIY LPG thread would be an awesome idea, i have been reading the LPG thread and its very interesting.

To get a list of items and step by step for our D14 guide would do wondering. The petrol price as of right now here in the UK is treasonous... I wanna cry T_T

Hi. The thread regarding basic LPG strategies is in the fuels & oils section. I keep promising to post more specific info regarding Hondas. Too much time pressure in the fight for the legal tender. ;)

Just hit 112000 miles which is 180000km. Am now driving 80 miles a day to work and back so the mileage will start increasing rapidly. Really need to now invest much more time and money on keeping the civic ready for the yeard ahead.

I have some small spots of rust at the moment (arches surprise surprise) and places that have been dented. I'm thinking of just getting some rubbing paper and sanding it down to bare metal and then painting it in blue again. Has anyone carried this out and what procedure should I take, also where can I get matching paint? Need to get this sorted before winter kicks in properly. I'm not too fussed about what it looks like, though it'd be great to do it properly.

Thanks in advance guys :)
