| Specs are 0.38 to .042 so you are in specs, I tend to gap at .038 to allow for normal electrode wear that will widen the gap, and still be in specs latter. I tend to foul champions out sooner, have had better results with NGK's | |

| Found the same thing with Champions & NGKs. I really was wondering about that, glad to hear someone else did too. Was thinking I just might have been too fussy!
