Default Flashlube: is this Snake Oil??

Hi All,

Reading on ebay about a car that had been gassed up but needed a new cylinder head. The seller says this is 'cos "gas burns so hot" and so he fitted a Flashlube system.

I thought that sintered valve seats stopped problems many years ago and only vehicles designed to run on leaded petrol could have problems. Years ago LPG converted vehicles DID burn valves though...

Does anyone have any experience of these things on any vehicle?

Robert
