Picked up NGK Iridium plugs number LTR5IX-11's looking to get the stock gap for the 2.4 motor...but more importantly, with these being Iridium, do they get gapped any largr or smaller than a stock plug? Car is 100% stock minus some cosmetic upgrades, like HIDs and bout to get drilled/slotted rotors....so no boost to worry about running colder plugs or anything, just need to know what to gap these to. also have heard they are gapped in the box ready to go, but i just dont trust it, in shipping they could have gotten bumped, or dropped at the store...u know, so i would just like to know what to gap these guys at before i install em

 

I wanna say its .042.
Edit:it's .040

 

is that for the stock plugs? or for the iriduim? or are they basically the same plug?
also is this what NGK reccamends, GM, or like what most ppl are running on the site?

 

Its manufacturer setting which is what you want to gap them at since you are stock.It would be a different story if you were force inducted or had nitrous.

 

ok, thanks alot, i was not sure if them being iridium had any play in what i should be gapping them at or not!

 

Nope.As long as your stock then its good to stay at manufacturer gap
