Really? That small? I thought I read on here somewhere that you should only gap that small if running high boost. And if low boost, like 7psi, to gap to .030. The plugs come pre-gapped to slightly larger than .035

 

i believe its .027-.032. In my experience the closer the gap the better the car runs.

 

you should gap them around .030

 

anyone got procedure and tools needed to gap them??? Im runnign the standard gap for the bkr7e and i have a lot of back firing while idling, could the gap be the problem?

 

to accurate gap them... get a hold of some feelers gauges. pick the appropiate guage and place it in and tap the spark plug.

heres a feeler gauge

 

you could also use a spark plug gapper...

I prefer the feeler guages and feel they're more accurate.

 

it depends on the car and how much power your making.

you could get away with .040 gap if your running 3 psi.

if your running high boost you need to gap the plugs tighter or upgrade the spark via coil etc....

gap is going to change depending how strong your spark is.

gap them at .028, if it works fine. if it's breakin up try a tighter gap.

 

If you got a stock dizzy go with .28-.25....

 

every car is different you just have to try it out.
