Im having the same issue...keep getting a lean code p1156. Everyone keeps saying i have an air leak somewhere but i can not find it for the life of me. Been looking for weeks. -
Believe i found an exhaust leak. My gaskets are shot hopefully replacing them gets rid of my p1156 code. https://youtu.be/kUOOEEFnnyU

Thats going to be my next step. Idk what else to do to be honest. Runs smooth as hell im thinking its leaning on idle or very light throttle

I went with autotech valve springs to compliment my techtonics 276 cams. I took it to redline a fee times since and it loves it! I keep getting a p1136 lean code and cant figure out why. Only thing i havnt replaced was my 02 sensor cause it has to be working still. The car runs great i dont know what to do now. Swapped out a 4bar fpr. Changed the coolant temp sensor also. Tried to get a tune and aptuning said its the same file i have already they dont change the file for cams cause my maf and 02 should regulate my air fuel ratios

Bump

blocks cleaned up and painted. And also back in the car. I ordered a fel pro head gasket and a set of fel pro head bolts and the bolts were wrong. I assume i by luck of draw got a mess up, but its just my luck i end up with the bad bolts. Heres a pic of the weird bolt next to one of my old, correct spec, bolt. And a close up of the head of the wrong bolt. Its a total different style

Start was a fail. Knock didnt go away at all. It actually got very worse. Ended up getting a motor from a part out. Took me 4.5 hours to get the motor stripped down, to get my motor stripped down, and block removed from car. Now im working on cleaning the head and block prepping them both for all my good parts. Will update when i get another chunk done
-
Thats what i keep thinking but u changed them so why did it continue to knock still
-
got a new bearing in and new bolts and shes got the pan back on and ready to get oil tomorrow and try starting it

UPDATE~ got it back together and its still knocking around. Took the pan off and pulled the piston cap to find a spun bearing so new bearing and once again wishing for the best here.
