www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine_cooling.

You are right of course,
but since its only a Toyota i have now & not a LR it all works fine when installed properly,
i think i will just keep on with what works well for me & many others.

You need to read a bit more possibly.
You seem to be mixing up LPG running dryer than petrol.

The Morgan racers & others are running LPG not only for the weight benefit but also the Lower calorific value of LPG means its only 85% of petrol & actually runs cooler.
Plugs do get hotter tho.

My 4.7 is just fine because its built for LPG, & doesnt run petrol.
My 4.6 was also built suitable for running just gas.
I have 'flash lub' on my 5.2 tvr engine because it runs standard heads.
Never had a problem with it & its done lots of fast runs in several different vehicles.
No valve recession
 or other such problems you have maybe been told about.

I think i have covered enough miles in LPG vehicles to be satisfied that it works for me.
Then i just do like NIKE says,
this seems to work just fine.

don't have to read up more, I know what can happen.  some people are fine with using LPG others are not.  I'm not telling you not to use it and would never do such a thing.  All I am point out is LPG can cause problems with the rover V8 which is a well known fact. 

no idea what you mean by LPG running dryer than petrol

POHA,
Just been reading the post on Landyzone from you on the same subject.
Then spotted your 110 in 'trackscotland', it looks nice & makes a very very nice sound.
