actually that's not the "proper" way. the correct way would be to use needlenose pliers to ensure that you don't damage the electrode. most people however use the gapping tool to widen the gap and bang it on something to close it. that should NEVER be done on an irridium, it will break.

just to clarify... you have to be careful where you grab it with pliers... I would actually recommend Iverson's method over using pliers... pliers will mare the surface of the ground electrode... I would avoid this method. And you really need certified pin gages... not one of those "gapping tools"... but... how many of us have pin gages laying around?? hahaha
Also... you can do this to your "original plugs"... all you are doing is closing the gap and ensuring that when the plug fires it is going electrode to electrode. You are helping reduce any outside fators ("spark blow out", etc.)... but if you aren't having any trouble with misfires, there is no need to regap your plugs...

Can I do this to my original spark plugs and what does this do? hehe, just wandering!
