Default Cut-back Plug question
Ok finally got my Dremel. I cut back all of my plugs but 2 of them may be cut back too far. Should I buy new plugs or throw them in? How much is too much?

I cut mine back nearly to the edge of the center electrode.

If you can still gap em to spec, install them.

I did the same thing, and installed them...but it ate away at me so I took them out and installed a new set. I didn't notice any difference. There really cheap, so if you didn't put them in yet, just go buy 2 more.
