Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

If you are using the porsche plugs with 4 electorodes to gap per plug then yah I'd say just screw it if they seem to be right.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am ready to install a set of new Platinum spark plugs, but want to check the Gap. What is the spark plug gap for a 2002 996 C2 Cab. Anyone know of a online listing of tech data for 996's? Also want to do an exhaust hack since they are out. Anyone know a good welder in Northern VA?

POST 2Original post

I leave tech data placards on any car or bike. You never know when you might be second guessing your memory elbow deep in filthy when digging for the info is plain dumb. The placards might still be on the car. I don't trust pregapped plugs either. Also since I have gapped plugs hundreds of times since I'd tune before every weekend in school there's the aspect of tight is right or loose tight or what the heck oh it goes in just right at that angle aspect of gapping. If you are using the porsche plugs with 4 electorodes to gap per plug then yah I'd say just screw it if they seem to be right. Pay good attention to what you read. PS I lived West Springfield early 70's.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
