Just what the question says. And if someone could answer quickly, that would be great. I'm about to go to a compression test, and put in new plugs. TIA

Most of the times they are pre gapped. Most likely they are.

They are at .040 inches out of the box, or 1.02 mm. How does this sound?

if you are turbo or nitrous gap them around .35, if you're NA gap them around .50

I know you are still NA because the parts in your sig are not yet installed...so the recommended range is .048-.053. you guys that are gapping your plugs a half inch (.5) should probably re-think that hmmmm? lol. .050 is perfect for NA
