got some bkr7e's

trying to get them down to .22

im hitting the tip of them on my desk, the gap does go down but am i supposed to be getting the outer tip of it to bend in as well?

also after i get the gap down and check the gap with my feeler guage it seems like its already back to how big the gap was prior to hitting it on my desk???

 

go to a autoparts store and spend the .50-1.00 for a plug gapper

 

yeah, you dont gap plugs by hitting them against a desk. lol

I dont know what kind of gapper you have but all the ones I have ever gotten have been accurate

I'm broly so I use my pinky

 

if you are scared of hitting them just lay them gently on the desk and push on them as to decrease the gap on the electrode, then use the gapper and gap.

doesnt get any clearer than that.

 

You can always hit them against your palm. Thats what ive always done... with no problem there.

 

tapping on your desk is fine, if its not making the gap smaller you need to do it harder.

 

Use the little hole in the round gaping tool to widen the gap, use slight taps on your desk to close it up.
