High Quality Spark Plugs
High quality spark plugs for a combustion engine. Spark plugs ignite the fuel/air mixture to move the pistons.
The High Quality Spark Plugs engine part in Rust is tier 3 and raises a modular car engine's acceleration. It fits the engine of the Cockpit With Engine Vehicle Module (70 kW) and Engine Vehicle Module (95 kW). You craft it at a Level 3 Workbench, and its blueprint costs 20 scrap to research.
About the High Quality Spark Plugs
The engine runs only when every one of its slots holds a part and none of them is broken. It has 140 condition, and damage to the engine module wears down the parts inside it, spread at random among them.
On the tech tree it sits behind 8 other unlocks: Medium Quality Spark Plugs, Low Quality Spark Plugs, Engine Vehicle Module, Modular Car Lift, Small Rechargeable Battery, Large Solar Panel and 2 more. Only one vendor sells it: the Vehicles Extra for 70 scrap.
