Default spark plug question.

i pulled the plugs on my car today to switch them out, but they were bosche platinums and they looked fine so i let them be. the only thing is that they were gapped at .065 when stock is supposed to be .054.
the car is running fine with the bosches. why are these suckers gapped so large>?

Cause people at Autozone tell everyone that Bosche comes pregapped. Get rid of those and get Autolites Platinums

Take those Bosh spark plugs out and throw them in the bushes.

Get some good ole', standard autolites. Motorcraft sparkplugs work really good to.

goodluck.

oh and bye the way....

NEVER, EVER, EVER, NEVER.....EVER, NEVER!!!!! buy f*cking Bosh platinums...for that matter.....any platinum spark plugs.
