as I remember you don't need to gap the iridium spark plugs... they usually are already gapped!

Trust but verify.. you should know the OEM gap spec, use a gap tool and measure it before you install it.

Also - use anti-seize lube on the threads.

Be careful with those since they have a tiny electrode.

Those are pre gapped at .44 if your car uses a .44 you should be fine.
