41-101 Iridium plugs
What is the best way to gap the delco 41-101 Iridium plugs?
I understand they come gapped at .060 & now its recommended to gap them at .045 & they are delicate.
thanks
Floyd

This is a Youtube video, it's not great but it explains the correct procedure.

You need 3 items. A wire cap tool, a post bending tool and a small amount of Never Seize.

I believe they can be ordered with a 45 gap.
I left mine at 60 since that is the Workhorse spec and they run great.

Thanks all. So what is the advantage of setting them at 0.45?

Less chance of miss fire. Remember WH/GM sayva qt oil to tamk of gas is normal. So, a lot of that burnt oil ends up on the plugs.

I would hope he's calling it an electrode. That is exactly what it is.
