Default Scared to gap Iridium plugs...

Alright, I give.

No way in hell I am going to try gapping my iridium plugs with a wedge style gapper. What is everybody using out there to gap there plugs? And to what spec?

So far I have heard something about a Jacob's plug gapper and gap them to .040"

Anybody's comments always welcome!

Thanks,
Andrew

You're not supposed to gap them.

But the plugs are gapped to .030 which is smaller than stock! These are IK22 for an NA S2000

Reverend,

The plugs are supposedly pre gapped... Its been my and others experience that this is not the case.
As RWD_RCKT mentions the highly varied gapping on the plugs i recieved was around .030

RWD_RCKT, I gapped my IK24s to .045 using a wire type gapper. If you like i can bring my gapping tool with me to saturdays event.
