Default Spark Plug Question

Hey,

Wassup guys, just ordered some spark plugs from Sewell for my 01 gs430. I was wondering do the spark plugs come pre-gap or do i have to gap it myself? If i do need to gap do anyone know what the specs i have to gap it to? i tried searching and nothing came up maybe i didnt search hard enough any help would be great.


Thanks in advance!

You cannot gap iridium plugs. You will break them.
