Hey guys i don't own a spark plug gapper. I bought me a set of BKR5E-11 and i was wondering if i need to regap them or can i just put them in?

 

If you have platinum plugs, I don't think they need to be gapped.

 

I just went through this today with the same plugs as you. They should be gapped I believe. They were slightly off. Advance Auto told me to gap them at .044, which I did. But, I kinda had to guess because my tool only went up to .040.

 

I'm pretty sure platinums come pre gapped. I know for a fact iridiums do. When I got mine they were all dead on at .044.

 

goto autozone and get one of their dollar spark plug gappers..

 

Denso Iridium's were exactly .044 upon my installation, just out of the box.

 

If they are coppers they need to be gapped. Get the gapper, its like 50 cents. gap to about .041-.044

 

Agreed. Even they are advertised to be pre-gapped, I'd check with a gauge anyway to make sure.

 

Coppers are said to be pregapped at .044 also. But i would double check just to be sure. Even if they were off by just a tiny bit, being NA wouldnt hurt it too much.

 

i believe that the -11 mean's they are pregapped at .44, its .4 mm times 11 equals .44 if it didn't have the -11 you'd have to gap them, now if your going nitrous or boost you should gap them a tad closer and maybe get a bkr6 or 7e-11 and gap it between .35 to .39 but since you are N/A .44 is standard.
