Forgive me for not being so knowledgeable about this subject, but
whenever unleaded fuel was introduced to us, were the valves and
shims, etc not hardened for this purpose?

Or is it that the ford zetec engine has a problem with lpg.

ford screwed up on the spec for the seats/valves, is my guess. They've
apparently started retro-fitting heads to petrol-powered ones...

Mind, I don't for sure know which engines are affected - not all of them
are. I *thought* it was mostly 1.8 focus engines, but then again, they may
share the same head as the 1.6
