what are some good spark plugs that come gapped that i could pick up from an auto zone or something? mine were so tight it was impossible to get off with hand, i had to take a 6 foot steel pipe from a ceiling fan and stick it on the socket arm just to get the damn things loose and i snapped the porcelain on 1 and the other 1 is cracked i cant tell if the others are but i need to replace them encase they are. so yeah which plugs cost like 12 bux or so for 4 of em and come like pre gaped?

no, with the .99 cent park plug gapper that they sell at the store you buy anything from.... I swear ive seen them even at grocery stores.

or since your pinching pennies on 3$ sparkies, you could always ballpark the gap with a flathead

was that sarcasm or can i really just use a flathead and make it a tiny bigger than my pre gapped ones so its a difference you can tell if u look close.

you want the gap TIGHTER not larger in peformance applications the stock gap is way to big

so basically i can look at my pre gapped ones and then gap my new ones by hand so that the gap looks a little smaller? or do they all have to be the exact measurement on every plug so i have to buy a gaper?
