Default Spark Plug Gap
I am changing my spark plugs today and have decided to go with the BOSCH Platinum. They say that they are pre-gapped. Should I not gap them? If I need to gap them, what is the gap?
Thanks.

Didn't agree much with Disco Mike, but I agree with this one. Leave em be. Check them if you want, but don't force adjusting the gap. Just around 1mm or .038-.041

Yeah those electrodes look very thin. I won't gap them. They look very close to 1mm on next to my calipers so I think they are OK.
Thanks.
