These cannot be gapped by traditional means. The platinum plating on the
center electrode is very thin and easily damaged, so the plug goes bad
quickly. That said, some toolmakers are supplying plastic gap checkers
which do no damage.
Chances are the gap is close. The platinum plugs crossing over for my
GT6 were close to 0.035". Only thing I would recommend with these plugs
is to coat the threads with never-seize before installing, because
they're going to be in the head much longer than is usual.
Cheers.
