Re: What Gap ?

Dude, (I call you that because you haven't checked the engine spec's tag under your hood) It will give you the correct gap for your plugs. Get a magnifying glass out and go over it real good. Not only will it give your the correct plug application, but it will give you the plug gap also. (unless some ding dong painted over it).

New cr45ts? Is that a replacement for the r45ts? If so, go with the original plug gap on the sticker!

Re: What Gap ?

The "C" in CR43TS denotes, copper core in the plug. Go with the gap on your sticker. Copper is a good conducter of electricity and is desined to move it faster.
