Default Experience with Toyota 1.3 16v 4E-FE on LPG ?

Sharing my experience
I had 1.3 xli 1996 with same engine converted at 21.000KMs to LPG.
After 90.000 KM got a broken valve and all the valve seats were BAD.!
Spent a Lot $$$ to repair and after 3.000Km this engine began
consuming oil, like 1lt/1.000Km.
Then I exchanged the engine with one from a crashed car (11KKM),
but since was I was afraid of more problems sold the veicule after
30.00KMs or so.
Now I am a happy owner of a Passat TDI 115CV and bye bye LPG.

Best regards,
