Which spark plugs should I use?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/89878/0618071756-01.jpg"></center><p>I have a set of NGK Copper cored plug, one heat range colder than OEM plugs and they are gaped just under .030.
The other plugs are the IK22s and they are gaped .032.
Which ones should I use and why? Also, I heard that you shouldnt change the gap on the IK22s becuase it can damage them. But, I think Steve uses the IK33s and has gaped them to .028.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys. New coils are going in too.<ul><li><a href="http://ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi/?html=learnmore.html&productID=8924">NGK from ECS Info</a></li></ul>

Never use plugs out of the box without gapping them..>>
The gap is an OEM engine spec, Plugs are used in dozens of models that might not have the same requirement. No problem gapping IK's....Just don't lever against the center electrode.. .030 worked for me on the last change
