I just bought some new Champion Copper spark plugs for my 96 Ram V10. The gap for my truck is .045. Do the spark plugs come with the correct gap or do I need to adjust the gap? I ordered them from O'reily's auto parts and I assumed that they were right but the gap is not written on the box. Thanks for the help!

 

Always good to double check them. I had to gap each of my champions I put in last time.

 

I've been doing my own tune ups since 1953 and have never got a set of plugs that didn't need the gap set. Once in a while some were ok, but never all them.

 

All Sparkplugs need to be gapped! there is only one exception, and that is if the manufacter clearly states that there is no gapping required. Bosch plugs claim they dont have to be gapped, and they dont but bosch plugs dont seem to get along with dodge trucks

 

+1 usually I find them between .035 and .040, but never all 8 dead on.

 

Always good to double check the gap, have fun: #9 and #10 are a real pain to change. #10 is pretty much by feel with you laying over the engine.
