1994 Spark Plug gap
I see the manual says .05 ... is there any reason to do anything different? I went with the NGK Iridium TR551X #7164 plugs. The car is bone stock.

Re: 1994 Spark Plug gap
I'll tell you what....changing the gap to smaller isn't easy with the NGK...the things dont budge. I think they are going in with the .05. Any good techniques out there...i dont have a vice, and dont really want to tap it with a hammer or something.

Re: 1994 Spark Plug gap
My bet is you will experience some tip-in stumble at .05.

Re: 1994 Spark Plug gap
so if I want to reduce it to .045 how do I go about it without smashing the plug into something, a vice is the only thing I think tat will do it.

I personally use a medium-to-small set of channel locks.
