Gapping NGK's

Do NGK's come factory-gapped, or do they need to be adjusted?

If they need to be adjusted, how do you get a standard gap tool in, or do you need a special gapping tool?

Ive never heard of gapping the plugs for these cars. I too think they have to come gapped,after all I can't imagine how you would gap one!

I work at NAPA and love looking at these things. They're expensive, but are really the best IMO. Yes they do come pre gapped, as i've checked everyone once in the box that mine came in, and was satisfied. They come with gap protectors that keep them from being bashed. If you do happen to get one out of wack, take it right back and demand a new one or money back.

I'm not for certain, but it looks like it would be a really hard to actually gap them by hand because they come in 3 and 4 prongs. I just used a small gage to check it, but didnt try to move them.

NGK's are really heads above domestic, cheap plugs when you compare them.
