    You shouldn't have to Gap your sparkplugs..If you gap it to .44,then in about a 1000 miles,it will be @ .45...So leave the spark plugs how you buy it. At least the ngk spark plugs.

    what do you mean? you mean cause of the number being a odd? i mean i have gapp tools that equal to .043 so its not that big a deal. im guessin your saying .044 cause its easier to get?

    every place is going to read something different 1 manual says .39-.43 others say .038-.44. personally i think like ryan your over thinking it. if your manual says 43 do it.

    both answers was correct i got to .44. that should have also been your pre-gap if u got the right plugs.
