What should the gap between spark plugs be?
For the best performance over the life of a spark plug, the gap between the electrodes should be as close to specification as possible. Gap Specification: 1.27mm (0.05″). Place an appropriate size feeler gauge in between the gap and adjust by slightly bending the outer electrode. Reuse or replace the spark plugs.

Where is the spark plug gap on a spark plug?
Spark Plug Gap – understanding the basics. 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.
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.
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.
