Save Gas And Incerase Horsepower By Side Gapping Spark Plugs

Step 3 Setting The Gap

After all the burrs are removed you must set the gap. To do this you will need to find the manufactures setting for your vehicle and reduce that by 0.010". Example: manufacture setting 0.035" - 0.010" = 0.025". Then using a feeler gauge of the correct thickness insert it at a 45* angle to check and adjust as necessary until the gap is correctly set.

Set the gap? What does that mean?

You need to set the gap between the side and center electrode by first measuring and then bending the side electrode in or out.
