NGK Spark Plugs - Pre Gapped?

by hormonedmonkey » Fri Feb 08, 2008 6:28 pm

Are NGK spark plugs pre-gapped?

I've got the BKR6E ones for my 8v

I know the gap is suppose to be 0.7mm but I don't have anything on hand to measure and I want to see if new sparky's make any difference.

I've never gapped before so fingers crossed they don't need it! he he

I doubt they are that small gap tbh as std. a stanley knife blade is about 0.65mm, so use that to check they are "kinda right"

Gonna have to gap them then, eh.

a decent set of feeler guages are only cheap tbh and well worth having :)

The spark plugs will be pre-gapped m8.
Even thougght i know that,i have allways tested mine anyway just to make sure,and they have allways been spot on.

But i would agree with the above posts,and definately grab yourself a set of feeler gauges just to be sure.
In the meantime i would just fit them the way they are and forget about it.

I learnt when working at a Datsun dealer many years ago that the ideal gap tool to use is a 12 inch hack saw blade. Never failed in 30 years.
