gapping denso iridium ik24 (pics)
for those with denso plugs.
how do you gap?
what do you use?
edit: oh yeah, i am running n/a, so they should be gapped between 0.040-0.043 right?
btw, these are very nice!!!
thanks!

Is there some reason you can't use the regular gapping tool?

Maybe you will be the THIRD s2k I have seen denso plugs fail in and ruin an engine 
I have read about 4 or so.
It is typically not a good idea to change the gap on this type of plug. It can be measured, and if it's close (.033-.043) I'd leave it.
Well, YOU'D leave it
Stock NGK is the absolute best for your NA car.

Can't go wrong with OEM NGK's Try a dealer or hardtopguy.
Fire wire electrodes on Platinum and Iridium NGK's come pre-gapped, and don't need to be messed with. You can easily break the electrode or ground strap "adjusting" the gap.
