Default spark plug gapping

Hey guys, I need a real quick answer. I used the search, and also looked through the FAQ's stickied here. Not even the owners manual said anything.
What are the measurments for gapping oem denso spark plugs?
Do I have to gap them, or do they come pre-gapped from the dealer?

Thanks guys.

Even if the plugs come pre-gapped check them before installation. Ask the parts store what the recommended gap is. Its in their computer. (Well, normally)

the 13.9 run i believe was from I/H/E and reflash with some slicks. if i remember correctly that is. awesome time for such minimal money spent. track and driver make up a big difference.

as for gapping, always always always check the gapping before install! some come pre-gapped, but they can be pushed in while being shipped. so call the dealer and find out the exact size to gap em and make sure u got it right before install. i would assume 44, but that is just what the older civics had and i have not changed plugs on a k series so i could be way off

1.0-1.1mm (0.039-0.043 in.)
NOTE: Do not adjust the gap of iridium tip plugs.

Spend the $75.00 for the 2006-07 Civic 2/4-door Service Manual Volumes 1 and 2 (KA) at helminc.com. You'll be glad you did.

Factory Service Manual. (Look in the back of your Owner's Manual - the page about "Authorized Manuals".)
