Still reading a couple things on plugs, tubes, coils, etc, and came across this older thread. What caught my eye was the gap that thstone was setting his plugs at. I realize his is a different year, but for my vehicle (2001S) Bentley recommends 1.6 mm which, if my math is good, comes out to
0.063"
Even with it being a different year, the difference between his setting and Bentley's recommendation is huge—over a 2:1 difference. Does this seem odd to anyone besides me?
