| Generally no, you can get pregapped plugs, but it's always a good idea to check them, a gapping tool is usually under a dollar. Those multi-electrode plugs are a gimmick, just get plain plugs of the correct heat range, I've had good luck with NGK. If you pay more than $3 each, you got ripped off. |
again once I geet a gapping tool. Just got the correct gap a few
minutes ago: 0.70 to 0.80mm. I got the Bosch Platinum with one ground.
Cheers,
b

That's what I was afraid of... I'm going to have to pull those plugs again once I geet a gapping tool. Just got the correct gap a few minutes ago: 0.70 to 0.80mm.

it was. Perhaps I jarred the regulator when installing he vacuum hose
and it worked for a day and hen went back to failing.
sigh. next I guess I try a new regulator ($300).
