I did check but couldnt find it, I did see someone asking if it was 35 - 40 mm before a while back using the search tool. I'll try checking the stickies once more but i swear i didnt find it.

It's clearly listed in the CA18DET Engine Facts Sticky.

1.1mm

And just FYI, you might want to think about your distances there for a second.

40mm = approx 1.5 inches

You'd need some HELLACIOUS coils to fire a plug gapped at 1.5 inches.

I think i found it in the stickies.. "Spark plugs 22401-58S16 (PFR6A11, CA18) Non resistor type NGK BCP6ES11 (11 = gap of 1.1mm) "

I actually got the NGK BCPR7ES - 11 but I'll assume the "-11" means 1.1mm of gap as well. found it, thanks guys!
