Silly question here, I got the sp534 plugs but do they come pre gapped at .30? Or do I need to buy something to gap it?

Thanks guys!

Some say they are pre-gapped but mine weren't all good. I needed to re-gap 2 out of 6.

Always check the gap, even if OEM-issued plugs.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I checked my 6, they were all good. You would think, it being ya know... 2014 right now. That the gap would always come correct.

How do you guys check? Is it something I'm just not seeing or do I need something special?

You need a gaping tool to measure the gap and adjust if necessary .



This is what I use ... From Advanced auto parts  or Auto Zone ..

If you want a professional tool, you can try and get something like this:  http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ACC-380700/

If adjusting, be very careful not to touch the center electrode.

Thanks guys!! I can always count on getting my questions answered here. I should be getting my SCT X4 in the next few days and want to change the plugs out before I load the tune.
