Reply With QuoteYea I talked to my mechanic he said they were all right at ~.020 out of the box.
Not true at all, I gap mine all the time. You need to, small tip doesn't necessarily matter if the gap is incorrect. You'll be misfiring for sure. Mine are BKR9EIX gapped to .018 as per Vit. I highly suggest to follow that. ~.020 would be good.

They're ~.030 out of the box. No way BKR9EIX are .020 out the box. He's wrong, I would double check them ASAP to be safe
Ok I will. Is it a micrometer that I need to measure the distance?

Ok cool thanks!
Don't get the round ones from Autozone, get the actual straight feeler gauges. They work best. I can't see the pic Adam posted, but this is what they look like:

Ok thanks. I looked around and a place local to me, harbor freight tools, has them. Gonna pick some up tonight or tomorrow.
On another note supposed to get the car back today at the end of the day. My mechanic started the car last night with the new iat sensor and said it was running much better (the broken one was reading -40*).
Our pics were almost identical. Lol. Great minds think alike.Don't get the round ones from Autozone, get the actual straight feeler gauges. They work best. I can't see the pic Adam posted, but this is what they look like:

Idk, that's a great reading. If only it would be safe to do that...On a serious note, glad to hear all is well. TRIPLE check the gap on those plugs before ever boostingm and keep us updated! I've been waiting for this build to be 'finished' for a while!! Best of luck!
Now that I'm on my desktop I can see the picAt least we passed on the knowledge!
