Yes, it will blow out your headgasket as soon as the propane detonates on the glowing ball in the prechamber. Even small amounts do it, the detonation is just too quiet to hear over the tire/road/wind/engine noise.

Any engine mod aside from MB factory engineered spec will detract from that.
Says you. These engines are an evolution of a platform that was designed in the 1950's and 60's (OM615 and its older OM621 brother) and owners have had decades to learn what MB couldn't in their artificial "accelerated life" testing. I give kudos to koya1893 for at least trying, however misguided his efforts are.

If these engines were cheap to fix and plentiful to replace, it may be another story.
They are. There wouldn't be so many of them around if that weren't the case (research the S/SL/CL 600 models for a good example of that).
