No need to set the gaps these days..the 1.1 on the box is the gap it is already set to buddy...fit them straight out of the box.

what, even though the 1.1 on the feeler gauge is too thick for the gap? so still ok to fit straight out the box without adjustment? The plugs were from Autolink btw.

Good tip thanks copper grease it will be....I will torque the plugs to the recommended tightness... or is that absolutley necessary, or as you say just don't over tighten? Cheers.
