XF Falcon <put funny sh*t here> Member 3,365 Member For: 18y 1m 20d Gender: Male Location: Perth, NOR Posted 03/08/07 06:19 PM Share Posted 03/08/07 06:19 PM Ok I just put a 10psi tune on my car, so I went to gap the plugs first. I've got a few questions as im a bit confused.My car was stock (as far as I know - purchased at 34,000kms) and it had no mods done to it whatsoever.1) When I took the plugs out they were all running 0.8mm gaps. Everyone here said the standard is about 1.0 - 1.1mm gap. The spark plugs had Ford written on them and look like the following (see below pic). Is something dodgy going on here??2) The plugs were considerably dirty (see below pic). Is this normal or not? I'll buy new plugs if I have to. Also is the lower electrode meant to look like a little point or should it be fat like all the other plugs I've used on my XF before.Any help would be appreciated. I'm in the mood tomorrow to do some mods, so if I need to change plugs then I'll get right on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the plugs I couldnt really tell you if you need to replace or not as when I 'did mine' the car only had 4k clicks on the clock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryansxr6 Member 18 Member For: 17y 11m 14d Posted 24/08/07 11:50 PM Share Posted 24/08/07 11:50 PM so would you recommend to re gap a standard tune xr6 to .8. what are the cons and pros my old man says that it will not run as smooth the closer the gap is?

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel.
