how to gap your plugs or where to set the gap?


if you look, there was a thread about how to gap plugs that was posted like maybe last week? if you thumb through the threads, you will be sure to find it. it shouldnt be to far back.

I set mine at about 0.27
I put a feeler gauge inbetween and hit the top with a very small hammer a few times
