Spark Plugs/gapping for 5S-FE

[AnglerfisH]

I searched the forums and really couldn't find a definate answer. I know that the stock plugs are Denso. Would an NGK twin tip platinum plug work fine? On the cam cover it specifically states "Use platinum spark plugs with a twin ground electrode", so I'm not sure if it would be wise to run a single tip plug in the car. Also, what is the stock gapping, and I've never gapped twin tip plugs before. Do they need to be gapped or are they pre-gapped? Any help is appreciated.

most spark plug these days are pre gapped so you dont need to worry about gapping them

Thanks, I figured after reading your response and looking at some online stores that they were pre-gapped. Got them changed today with new Denso plugs, had to go buy a U-joint for my socket extension to get underneath the strut tower brace, but that was the only problem I ran into.

no need to gap the twin or more tipped plugs, or gap iridiums
