But it should be checked anyway. It's almost never right.

Alot cheaper yes.. but if you dont mind changing them every year.. just changed to NGK iridium IX, not as expensive as plats, but lasts longer then coppers (but not as long as plats), so far so good..

Coppers wield better performance than anything else. All the Iridium and Platnum is just a plating over the copper to make it last longer. Coppers are the way to go. Once you change the plugs once, it is very easy after that. Unless you don't learn like some people.


.044 inches gap for both coppers and platnums.
