Hi,

Well at least check them B4 installing them. The more exact each is gapped to the others, the smoother your idle will be. I use a set of Blade Type Feeler Gauges. The best thing to do is use the comparative method. That is, use the Feeler Gauge which is one Up and one Down from the desired setting which is 1.6mm-1.65mm (0.063"-0.064"). The gauge one Up should not go in and the one Down should feel really loose. If you need to open the Gap, carefully use a needle-nosed pliers to open them. To close the gap, a lite tap with a small Ballpeen hammer will do the trick. The Tightening Torque is 22-24 Ft. Lbs. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
