yeah, pre-gapped wrong. most ngk’s you buy at cdn tire or similar stores are 1.1mm proper gap, as per fsm, is 0.9mm (or .035") ---

Stupid pregap, and you can damage the tip if you gap it because they are iridium. Thats why I run BKR7E - Regular Copper V-power. Change them every oil change. i run a closer gap. .030". But like spd-dmn said stock is .035". ---

I’ve got a feeler gauge. I don’t use the circular crappy gapper. I just prefer to keep my plugs fresh every oil change rather than have some old plugs that may be ok or may be fouled. just my $.02 though. I run Iridiums on my daily driver though. Also the package says not to gap them. I’ve accidently bent a tip before too. My fault, not saying it can’t be done, but one has to be careful.
