What does a gap on a spark plug mean?
A spark plug gap is the distance between the end of the electrode and the base of the spark plug. If your spark plugs aren’t properly gapped, your engine may not burn fuel properly.
How often should you change the spark plug gap?
The spark plug gap adjustment should not be changed more than 3 times and should not exceed .008″ in either direction. Excessive changing of the spark plug gap setting will result in weakening of the spark plug ground electrode and can lead to breakage. Also, the spark plug gap should never exceed .055″ unless pre-set by the manufacturer.
When does a spark plug need to be widened?
Determine if the gap needs adjusting. If the tool passes through the gap without touching the electrodes at the appropriate measure, your gap is too wide. If you can’t fit it between the electrodes, the gap is too small and needs to be widened some. If it fits closely to the specified measurement, you’re safe to install the spark plug.
