I just got my NGK iridium ix and NGK spark plug wires for d16y8 stock 96 honda civic, questions is do I need to gap the spark plugs? I heard ppl said it is pre-gapped. Do i just install it like it is or I have to gap it myself? thanks.

 

yes, gap to .044.

 

is it true that the spark plugs are pre-gapped at 0.044 ?

even if they were, its always good to go back and double check it. its simple to do that.

 

I don't think I've ever had to gap NGK plugs, but I always check.

 

With the Iridiums they're supposed to come pre-gapped cuz because of the greater chance of breaking the narrown tip. Anywhere between .042 and .044 is fine for stock.

 

thanks, greatly appreciated your comment, now i can safely install the plugs and wires
