They came pre-gaped at 0.20 inch and I see 0.032 is the recommended gap for my 2004 550 SE 3.2 engine.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello- I’ve been searching for an answer in the forums to no avail. I bought these 4 point ground spark plugs and cannot find a good answer on gaping. They came pre-gaped at 0.20 inch and I see 0.032 is the recommended gap for my 2004 550 SE 3.2 engine. Question 1: do I/can I re-gap them? 2: do you run these at the factory gap? 3: is there another item number that gets you a factory gap of 0.032? 4: how do you measure the gap? As the electrode does not stick up higher than the porcelain insulation. 5: should I return them and get a single prong type? Recommendations? TIA

POST 2Original post

Without very specific tooling, you cannot re gap this type of plug.

So it came gaped at 0.20. Would it come gaped differently if I ordered it from Pelican? Ive seen a lot of posts of members using this plug with success so I guess they used it out of the box. Does not seem to be much info on the net.

No, it comes in only one gap setting.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
