I want to "perfect" what is a simple operation using everyones experience.

I know the plugs are crucial to optimum performance on the trionic 7.
Id like to take out my plugs and check / regap them.
What is the gathered wisdom to achieve the perfect gap set with regard to technique.

ie

Remove plugs.
I know that di cassette should be stored upright .

Check gap with - any preferred gap tool for accuracy ?
Adjust gap with any preferred tool for opening / closing gap ?
1 mm gap recommended ?

My preferred wisdom is to take them out, throw them away and put new ones in, all for about £8 GBP

Good link rico

Chris , i like that wisdom as well, where are they for 8gbp and i assume gap is correct at new .

Ive heard conflicting reports that gap is ok at new and gap has to be set at new ?

I pulled mine out the other day and they were gapped at .030", the stock gap is .037". So don't go thinking it'll be right when it's new.

Dont ever trust new plugs to be at the correct gap :nono; Always check with your gauges it only takes secinds to do

My car (aero) came with the expensive platinum ones and that's what I'm putting in it..........just not every oil change.
