spark plug gap check

[kami240sx]

I just got some iridium spark plugs for my stock '95 and i wanted to make sure what gap to set it.some people say from .039 to .043 and some say it should just be at .044i checked autozone.com and they have a spec of.044i checked the gap on my plugs and they're at .040i've heard also that these come pre-gapped and some people say you have to gap it yourself.

anyone know what the correct gap should be and whether or not i should gap these things?

what is the difference if i left the spark plugs at .040 instead of gapping them at .044 like some people said?

[Unnatural]

Not much...just leave them. I've never used iridium plugs (probably never will) but they should be factory pre-gapped similar to a platinum plug. Regardless, the difference between .40 and .44 is negligible.

alright, i think i'll just keep the gap from NGK, thanks unnatural idiot er. . . unnatural and idiot =P

anyone know the torque specs of the plugs and if i could change the gap after i find out it might not work? would the heat from using it harden the metal or anything to where i wouldn't be able to gap afterward?
