Has this issue been going on for a while, or just recently (like within a tank of fuel)? Could be a bad tank of fuel, had that happen on my 01...you'd have thought l bought water. Took about two tanks to finally clear it out totally. My rule of thumb anymore is...give it a couple tanks of gas...before jumping into the issue (if minor).

Anyway, I read similar, but that larger gaps were good for a better spark for more complete combustion. Bottom line, even if the spec is what you mentioned (which I think is correct) the offending cylinder isn’t far enough out of spec I don’t think as to cause the issue.
The best news is that I don’t have a catastrophic issue, or something that requires me to tear into the motor. So I’ll throw a few parts at it that are good peace of mind and not a waste no matter what, and I’ve already got a set of O2 sensors to put in as well and go from there. The Disco is a toy for me despite being my daily, and as long as I don’t have to find the time to throw another motor in it, I’m really not worried about it- just bummed I don’t get to take it for my trip today...
