Default Do not adjust the gap of platinum tipped plugs, replace if out of spec?

Just read my helms and it mentioned this? Does that mean don't adjust the tip after they have been used and your inspecting them in the car, or does that apply to brand new plugs as well, since my new NGK G-Power plugs needed a larger gap to be within spec after i checked them out after opening the package.

yeah, but most NGK plugs come pre-gaped from the factory. so it should have been correct unless you have some that were un-gaped. such as the iridum ones i got were pregaped and were actually a little smaller than factory (.042 instead of .043)
