    Spark Plugs

    Need to do spark plugs. I picked up some NGKs from FCP Euro - do they need the be gapped? Do I need to measure and verify they are correctly gapped already? Thoughts on using a high temp anti seize? Looks like torque is 22 ftlbs.

      You’re right I actually got NGKs, but thank you for the other two.

        Actually found this too, should have referenced first. To confirm, no gapping required?

          No gapping for the stock NGKs. They have two ground electrodes that aren't gapped like the single ground electrode spark plug. I believe the center electrode wears on the NGKs, not the ground.

            Those come pre-gapped, so no need to gap. You could measure if you want to be sure that they're correct, but they should be fine.

                +1 for double checking the gap.
