No not true, the design of the upper and lower intakes can easily allow air to enter one bank more then the other. This is one reason you have O2s to monitor each bank.

Replace the upstream O2s if they have more then 30k on them. Check all of my vacuum and air hoses for leaks. If I still get a lean code, replace all upper and lower intake gaskets and injector O-rings.

Hi, Jeff

I have a Zetec, so actually I dont have a UIM/LIM gaskets just one.
Anyways back in January I had the fuel injectors cleaned via using the fuel rail.
My upstream O2 sensor ( Zetecs only have one) was replaced about 18k ago.
I have already checked all the vacuum lines I did that while I was cleaning the MAF.
