Do NGK Spark plugs need to be gapped?

While most NGK spark plugs are pre-gapped, there are occasions when the gap requires adjustment. Care must be taken to avoid bending or breaking off the fine-wire electrodes. NGK also recommends adjusting the gap no more than +/- 0.008” from the factory preset gap.

What should the gap be on Ford Spark Plugs?

They are normally horribly gapped from the factory. All over the place. Like .028 to .035 and crazier at times, Ford specifies them to have a gap of .027-.031″ from the factory.. ALL SPARK PLUG GAPS WILL WIDEN WITH USE.

How big is the gap on a Ford Focus ST?

BTW, the 6509 come gapped to 0.028″ just like the Densos all do. The NGK 6510 come gapped bigger as you noted. You may also want to add that the Denso ITV 24 are two steps colder, and are what come bundled with the Ford Racing tune.

FRPP kits come with two step colder for whatever reason, ITV-24’s. There may be some odd people building some crazy high HP competitive cars, that may need to go even colder, these plugs exist, but again, your tuner will be able to discuss this option with you.
