Valve rotators is a thing for helping prevent carbon build up and heat distribution. Propane runs a lot hotter than gas and that valve gets extremely hot. What happens when it spins, it is so hot that the valve actually starts to chews into the vale seat until the seat is gone. Personal experience off my my friends propane powered 84, the seats were all chewed out of the heads on the exhaust valves. A true propane motor should have better valves and higher comppression to allow the full potential of the fuel. Like I said one or the other, or do it right or don't do it all.
