Spark Plug Question
I bought some Denso Iridium spark plugs for a B16A and Denso said they a pregapped and to just drop them in, is this correct or should I still gap them a bit more?

Yes they should be pregapped but when I got my set 2 of them were out of spec. Be very careful if you have to regap one of them. I broke the electrode tip off one of them when I tried to regap it.

yuck. poor advice. you ALWAYS check that gap on new-in-box plugs. "Pregapped" doesn't imply that they're within spec.
but yes.
you should be careful not to break the electrode.
