Should I regap NGK Iridium plugs
The NGK website recommend that the iridium not be regapped because of the possibility of messing up the center electrode. What's the forum consensus. Did you guys regap or leave as purchased?

Most plugs have a cardboard wrapping around the electrode to keep the gap from getting messed up during shipping and handling.
I don't think a swipe with your feeler guage as a precaution will hurt anything.

The NGKs are easy... it's the Denso's that are a bitch!
Just be careful...
Check the NGK site, see what they recommend the gap to be for the application, I don't remember off hand.
and change accordingly.
I had these before, they are EASY to adjust. It's the Denso's that are so uber delicate.
