lt1 h/c running super lean I just recently put my engine together and got it running. After I broke the cam in, I shut it down for the night. About two days later I changed the oil and fired it back up. Now my wideband is reading super lean, 22:1. It was reading around 14:1 during the break in. I changed my ground for the gauge and it didnt make a difference. I mounted the wb sensor next to the original sensor so I cant see an exhaust leak being a problem. Anybody have any idea? I checked the plugs and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. They were actually surprisingly clean for a base tune.

Dude, can u list how many things could do that?
fuel pump
fuel press reg
vacuum leak, broken intake valve
exh leak - did u verify the stock NB O2s reading lean also?
WB O2 sensor failure
Try a different WB O2 sensor?
Always start with fuel press - check fuel press yet?
BTW u have zilch in your profile so u should expect as much for assistance.

The car runs fine with no problem. Its only the gauge reading lean that worrys me. Yes I know I dont have stuff on my profile. But why would I have little assistance for that? Ive never had a problem before. I have the le2 heads with a custom grind cam. All iI asked was what would cause a false lean through the gauge bc the engine runs like a top.

A blank profile is standard for trolls looking to start caos and leave.
Where did u mention anything about a "false lean"? I read something u looked for exh leaks, nothing 'bout a gauge problem. Well i can see theres nothing for me to help with here.
Good luck with your "gauge problem".
