Ok did my plugs. Removed the original OE Mazda olugs, the electrodes looked really good, with no wear, they still measured at 0,030in, so that confirms the NGK laser iridium replacements are gapped correctly at 0.030in. See pucs. The only thing I noticed was the heat marks right at the base of...

I never dhowed pictures when I made my earlier post on this thread. Here they are. Again, I used Powerstop geomet coated rotors and evolution plus ceramic pads 11,000 miles later at 51k, the geomet coated rotors are holding up well, with minimal rust even after 2 NE Ohio winters. Same for the...

I just measured mine and right, they are at 0.030" +/- 0.001. Still would like to know what Mazda says the gap SHOULD be, just because they are pre gapped at 0.030 doesnt mean its correct for our engine, unless this is the only engine using this plug. It very well could be the correct gap...

Yes, modern plugs come pre gapoed, but no one plug can be gapped right for every application. Plenty of times ive had to regap iridium, plat, plugs cause they didn't match my factory spec gap. So,my question still stands, anyone know the gap for the 2.5 turbo? And by the way, ive bought many...

So what should the gap be on these, looks like they are pre-gapped at 0.030", is that correct for the 2.5L Turbo? has anyone check the gap on the old plugs to see if there is any wear other than a visual look? 40K on iridium does seem maybe a little premature, but with only 4 the cost isnt too...
