What are NGK spark plugs gapped at?
NGK recommends a round wire-style or pin gauge gap tool to measure the gap. If the gap must be adjusted, use a tool that only moves the ground electrode and does not pry between or against the electrodes. NGK also recommends adjusting the gap no more than +/- 0.008” from the factory preset gap.

What are the symptoms of a narrow spark plug gap?
The duration of the spark has less travel distance, thus not remaining hot enough with sufficient charge to ignite the air-fuel mixture. The symptoms of narrow gap include a noticeable (continuous) cylinder miss, hard starting if all the plugs have narrow gaps, rough idle and engine hesitation.
What causes a high voltage spark to jump the gap?
A high voltage spark jumps the gap, producing ignition fire. Spark plug specifications, which include type, heat range and gap, will be found in the owner’s repair manual. Heat range indicates the length of time needed for heat to be drawn away from the plug tip.

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.
Where is the spark plug gap on a champion?
For Champion spark plugs it is a little less logical and is as listed below: Spark plug gap is where spark plug spark discharge is designed to take place. On a conventional spark plug, it is the area between the center and the ground electrode.
How big is the spark plug gap on a Promod Turbo?
Some applications such as ProMod turbo cars using M1 fuel frequently run a spark plug gap as small as .012″, even though they are equipped with some of the highest output ignition systems providing in excess of 60,000 Volts high current and high mJ power output.
