just like the title says, i'm wondering if the NGK spark plugs that H and A Accessories as well as other Honda dealers sell come pre-gaped?

Also since I will be ordering plugs, I just want to confirm what the correct gap is for the 04-05 AP2 models?...I've see a lot of stuff during my searches but just want someone to confirm the correct number one more time


thanks in advance

They are supposed to come pregapped from the factory, but I have very rarely found one that actually is. The setting I use is 0.041"

store bought ngks will not come pre gapped.

Honda bought ngks are pre gapped for the s2k. Out of approximately 100 honda plugs that I have installed, every single gap was spot on.

midnightmethane

cool...so ordering from Majestic Honda or H and A would be gapped

actually since you are closer could I paypal you and would you be able to get them for me and send them to yonkers...I know you have Honda parts connections?

that would be sweet Billman

you can get them at advanced auto for 10 bucks each

midnightmethane

yeah but they won't be gapped correctly

its not like they cant be gapped.... buy a feeler gauge and gap them. save your self $30.00

Billman250

Yeah...go ahead and gap them, fracture the coating so it can fall into the engine and score the cylinder

There's a reason you don't gap them. I can give you some screen names who did and scored a cylinder if you need convincing.

^ yep...and besides there are still similar when buying em online or from you...certainly not the $22 a piece one Honda parts shop quoted me

^^ this is how I gapped my NGK's and so far I have gone 3000+ miles with no problems. gapping them like the picture above will not damage anything unless you keep moving the electrode back and forth. you just have to be little careful and save yourself over 30 dollars.
