A quick question, do you gap these plugs or are they ok from new? My Redline spark plugs are gone at 63K looking at one of them and need to change them now.

INstall as they come, no gapping required.

I checked a set not long ago. They were all perfectly gapped

I'm undecided if I change mine now as I looked up an old thread and other spark plugs were worn a lot more than mine. The problem I have is the SS runs rough while the Director runs a lot smoother.

Nothing to lose by change in them at 60k.

Mine look good at 53k but since i have a set and they were cheap I will throw them on anyway...

However rough idle is often due to fuel rather than spark issues.

MAF and TB clean ?
Ever run any fuel system cleaner through ?

I'll change the spark plugs and see what happens.

I do notice my car runs rougher on warmer days over 30 degrees. The engine idles higher on those days too.

My Spark plugs arrived yesterday. Not bad from the USA to AU - much faster than Australia Post delivering an article in this country.

that's normal mate, whenever i see an item hit auspost the time basically doubles - useless clowns.
