Did you check for proper gap settings before installing? If not, all the power and fuel efficiency comments are irrelevant and you're wasting your time and money. What is the proper gap settings for spark plugs for a 3.0Si inline six??? I'm curious since I'll be installing new plugs soon. Anyone know what the proper gap setting is?
The plugs from both NGK and Bosch are non adjustable. To be more clear, they mean they are not to be adjusted and come pre-gapped. Anyone who's touched them would also know that it would be pretty tough to get a gap gauge in there with the quad setup they've got.
