or
instead of relying on someone to gap them, I can just gap them
Fun story to kill the time. The second to last time I bought plugs from a well known/respected tuner. I got my 6 plugs in the mail, 2 weren’t gapped right and they were all in their little boxes without the protective sleeve and then all in a bigger box without any padding or space filler…so the plugs were just bouncing around the box like a baby’s rattler. So I sent them back and waited another 2 weeks. The things I can do, like gap a plug, change the oil, change the plugs, rotate the tires…I do myself. I could pay someone to do almost anything for me but I don’t.

plus, who doesn’t want more tools? In all seriousness, this way I can source them cheaper and gap them instead of relying on a tuner…and I’m not smacking them on the table 😂
edited to add: ford makes them at .031…MPT and 5star gap them and resell them

if I had posted asking for recommendations for a torque wrench I would’ve gotten, Husky, snap on, then 100 replies about how I don’t need one and another 100 about how they need to be calibrated and all that so it’s a waste.
its all comical
I’ll let you know what I get
