It's generally a bad idea to re-gap iridium plugs because you can break the iridium part of the electrode.

Most companies sell the plugs pre-gapped anyway. Those NGK are .031 gap from the factory.

You still have to verify the gap. Cant always just depend on the factory. You never know.

You can do that. A feeler gauge shouldn't hurt anything. You're not applying any force with it.
