For my 04 3sport what is stock gap for it? I bought some NGK iridium IX tr6ix for it and they come pre gapped at .37.

Is that correct for it? Can you gap iridiums?

Thanks
Greg

check the owner's manual. it should have the gap tolerance in it. don't trust what it is pre-gapped for.

mine were fine when i put them in. i read on i think it was either **********s site of ngk's site that the gap should be .044. mine came awfully close to that so i just left them the way they were. runs great. if they are all the same at around your .037 you should be fine. its not a huge deal unless your getting some wacked out gaps. .027 and a .055 or something.
