fouling sparkplug

I keep fouling out the #6 sparkplug. I just installed my new engine and can't figure out what is causing this. I thought I might have a header leak because black dust was above that cylinder so I replaced the header gasket and sparkplug and it started fouling out again after only driving it about 10 minutes. I looked at the sparkplug wire and it's fine. I have a new opti and new SVO injectors. A friend of mine shot a heat gun on that sides header before I replaced the header gasket and it was running about 100 degrees cooler (320 degrees). I'm hoping the new gasket fixed this problem but I don't have the heat gun to check. I don't think it's a problem with my new tune because it's only affecting 1 sparkplug. The rest of the sparkplugs look clean but the #6 is really black.

Re: fouling sparkplug

You can try to swap injectors, #6 can be leaky. Header leak will cause all bank to run rich. May be rocker adjusted wrong?

Re: fouling sparkplug

Thanks. I'll try switching the injectors around tonight to see if it might be an injector. My engine builder adjusted my rockers so they should be right.
