still no answer to the "stupid old man question of the day" about gapping the new type plugs and not screwing up the tiny tip elements ?
i try not to sound idiotic, but i try to learn new methods of doing things when possible.
Actually, I felt like you had already answered that in your very post by saying that adjusting by bending at the side of the ground electrode was the way...at least that's what I figured I would do if I end up trying that style of plug.
...besides, you know what they say: the only stupid questions are the ones that haven't been asked!
