A lean condition at any time, even for a short time, is bad for the motor. A lean condition means much higher temperatures in the combustion chamber then normal and that is not good for the values, cylinders, rings etc…
Higher then normal combustion temperatures can also cause pre-ignition (knock) that is VERY bad for the rods and crank. If the knock is not bad enough then generally the computer can correct for that by taking timing out which takes horsepower away. However the computer can only correct or compensate so much for a problem…
