By the way, you got that from lancershop.com.

If you go there, they want you to use this to gap it.



Spark Plug Gapper Tool

you know what that will do to your iridium tip?

faulse info, someone should notify lancershop.com.


Like i've been telling people, if you gap a iridium plugs, you risk having pre-ignition.

if you must, use BR7ES, the copper ones and change em out every oil change.

Product Description

Why NGK Iridium? More Durability and a Higher Melting Point compared to Platinum, better center electrode anti-oxidation and anti-erosion, improved ignition, superior anti-fouling, lower required voltage, new metal shell plating process for better anti-corrosion. One Step Colder plugs are recommended for car with 400+ hp Evo's

Fits: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII 03-05 GSR, MR, RS

Tech Tip: These plugs DO NOT come pre-gapped. We recommend purchasing the spark plug gapper tool, seen below. These plugs are one stage cooler then the stock EVO Plugs.

When i gap the iridiums, i only use that round gapping tool to measure the gap between the central electrode/ground electrode. Open the gap by using a pair of plier on the ground electrode, close the gap by pushing the ground electrode on table or something else if you dont want to ding up the table. Also, the ground electrode is pretty soft, does not take much to close it up

well if you must gap it, you should use the one that has the rectangle pieces of metal with the gapping tool built into it, looks like a bottle opener.

you could get it any auto-shop.

I would recommend using a feeler gauge when checking the gap of plugs for accuracy.
