Default Spark Plug Gap

Anyone ever check their spark plug gap? My engine idle has a slight miss. Just wondering before I let the service apes looks at it....

Thanks

if it's a slight low rpm miss i'd recheck all the plug boots. I found that my no. 8 plug had an odd way of working itself loose. turns out the screw on end for the plug had somehow come loose and lodged itself in the boot. i'd put the boot on and get it as tight as i could but it would always work itself loose. finally i pulled the wire, noticed that something was missing from the plug, checked the boot and found the screw on tip. pulled it out of the boot, put it back on the plug and wha lah, no more miss.
