what is happening when running lean (not a noob question)
i ------- know what it means but when is it doing?
from my chemistry skills the only thing i can come up with is that the extra oxygen in the chamber is super hot and just wants to oxidize anything it can hit.
like how steel will rust slowly at room temp but if start tig welding without a sheilding gas it oxidizes like instantly.
dont tell me about 14.7:1 or ---- cuz i know that.
dont tell me to google it becuase every other *** out there has only 1 thing to say and that is what it is, not what is happening.

this is the full answer.
when ruining super lean, you create more heat in the combustion chamber. this extra heat ignites the fuel before the spark plug does and... boom.

well its just that ive seen what happens to pistons when a motor goes lean and it like a hole is burned right through it. the hole is smooth almost like it is gradual.
but then ive seen pistons that were like totally cracked to hell with bent rods.
i just thought something else was happening
