Like Tom stated if your Gauge reads only 160 you should check the Thermostat or be sure that there is one. 160 Degrees may be too cold for that application it typically would be 180 although with a 10% differential it could be running at 180%. Typically a Thermostat is needed to slow the water flow enough to make sure that it is cooled.
Having said this yours is unique being a gasoline engine with an LPG conversion and it would run much different than a diesel, maybe everything is alright?
