    Exclamation Spark Plugs

    Hey guys i just bought a set of NGK Iridium spark plags, i asked for the ones for a vp v6, when i got home i checked the gap(by eye) and the gap is at least 2mm maybe 2.5mm, is this right to use on the vp? i thought the gap was meant to be 1.5mm? and it says on the box not to adjust the gap.

    So can i use these plugs? or do i need different ones that are 1.5mm gap?

    Cheers steve.

    get yourself a spark plug gapper, check what the old plugs are gapped at and gap new ones accordingly.
