Mine was already LPG'd when i bought it, its not the multi injection system though, it is great, no noticeable difference in driving or performance and half the price of petrol.
I just did my cam cover gasket  the other week, theres a 'how to' on here, its simple. The breathers are the three pipes that connect to the cam cover. I also took the throttle body off and cleaned out the butterfly valve and small jet in there too, makes idling a lot smoother.
