Do not gap! They come pregapped! Doing so will break the tip of the plug!

check the decal under your hood it should say dont quote me but i think its .054 or w.e. lol but it NEVER hurts to double check them they maybe pre gaped but when a box gets dropped im pretty sure the gap aint the same after that....

your right the gap needs to be like .052-.054 i believe

and you wont brake the end off by setting the gap

If they are any plug but a plug like you see on a snowmobile, I bet $ you will break the tips.
