1993 civic ex with 1.6L 124,000 miles

Bought some new AC Delco spark plugs to replace the -original- ones. Car runs PERFECT but if it's notbroke, fix it anyways, right?I have antiseeze and everything i need to do the job but i just want to make sure i have the plug gap right before i start working. Any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks

 

Electrode Gap: 1.1 mm (0.043 in)

 

If you look in your civic manual it will have it, also go out a get a haynes manual, they help with all your civic needs, it also has the gap for the plugs.

 

Why did you buy GM plugs for a honda ?

 

most spark plugs come pre gapped

 

spark plug gap should be listedon the underside ofthe hood

 

Toss em out and buy NGK's. Always stick with the OEM if possible!

 

hondas run on ngk's no reason to run anything else.

 

Always NgK plugs or Denso..But I GO NGK all the way...

Spark plugs come pregapped to a certain RANGE specified by the manufacturer of the plug. Some brands of plugs are gapped more consistent than others. Example (making the actual numbers up but I've seen it in the catalogs): Plug A333 is gapped .040-.050. Plug A334 is the exact same heat range, electrode depth, etc. but is gapped .050-.060. I've seen quite a bit of variation in plug gap in the same part number plugs before too. ALWAYS at least check the gap.

As for looking up the gap to your car...just go to www.autozone.com or another parts store website and look in the specs section. They'll show you gap, firing order, etc.
