NGK Spark Plugs

Do the ILZKBR7A-8G come pre-gapped?

That does not mean you don't have to check them. ALWAYS check your gap against the spec. "Trust but verify"

Good idea to verify. Just note that NGK say that their plugs should not re-gapped.

Ooh, need some cheese to go with that "wine"
Hey, COP so we don't have to buy wires every other year! It is really cheaper.

As Slinger alludes to, plugs are designed for such specific applications now, there is one right setting. Not like the old days when we played with everything in the ignition just to keep it running. Emissions requires it fire every single time under all conditions. Not easy, but great for power, economy, and the mandated driving force: emissions. Win-win-win.
