Gremlin Bells & Turquoise The turquoise is an ancient symbol of protection from falls, notably from horseback. My horses are all gone now so hopefully the tradition will transfer to my Buddy. :)

Did you just assume that the plug came gapped to the correct clearance or did you verify before installing? Asking because my mechanic checked the manual for the recommendation (0.6 - 0.7) before installing mine. Don't know if he had to adjust or not, wasn't watching that part.
