anyone know what the sparkplug gap for a 16v with a cat is? I have done a search but only found 8v non cat.
Thanks
Alan

From what Ive been told, setting the spark plug gap really isn't needed unless the electrode / cathode are damaged or bent, or have you been a bit eager with the emery cloth!.

Hey Iain, i have the platinum tipped plugs, which you aren't supposed to clean as it removed the coating, so i have been told. I am exhausting every possibility to get my emissions correct.
