What would be good for my spark gap on my car, 054 or.053?

Hi,

If you are replacing the plugs, either of what you indicated is fine. The manufacturer gives a range for setting the gap. In this case, it is.052 -.056.

I attached a pic below from my manual. Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

I wanted to add a quick video showing how this is done. I'm not sure if it is needed but I thought I would add it in case.
