I believe the main issue here is that a new gas (LPG) engine will not bed the rings in correctly as gas is a dry fuel compared to petrol.
When I did my LPG course we had a recipe with good old Bon Ami powder mixed with engine
oil, it was distributed evenly between the pots and the engine wound over exactly 50 times by hand with no heads on the motor, after 50 turns the heads got fitted up and the engine started alledgedly blowing the dry powder out the exhaust, The teacher at the time said 150 turns would wear the rings past the useable limit.
Thhats what she said anyways.
