Rocky Mountain Race Week Day 6: Uncle Rob Yukon Sets New Best ET!! (Bonus: BluePrint Engines Visit)

What happens here

Before heading to the Blueprint Engines facility for tuning, the vehicle owner (Uncle Chet) checks the spark plugs of his Chevrolet Suburban. He uses a socket wrench to remove a spark plug and visually inspects it. He notes that the spark plug is a bit dark but the porcelain and strap are clean, indicating it's not severely fouled. This check is crucial after driving at high altitudes, which can affect fuel mixture and potentially foul plugs. He notes that changing all spark plugs might require removing the downpipe.

Goal: Assess the spark plug condition after high-altitude driving to ensure optimal engine performance.

Tools and materials

  • Socket Wrench — Removing the spark plug for inspection
