Gap on spark plugs

Cheers James and thanks for the forum it's properly helpful
it would seem spark plug gapping is a thing of the past and they should not be altered from how the plug is delivered for fear of the bended bit breaking and dropping into the cylinder. I think modern ecu's negate the need for the gap to be set differently for differring motors. Just my theory.

Nice one cheers mark
A lot of modern day plugs have 3 or 4 electrodes, unlike the old days that just had the one. The spark will just across the smallest gap (not noticeably smallest by eye) so no need to adjust. Also because of the larger amount of electrodes they last longer than old school plugs too
