if you ordered the right ones for you car they should come out of the box with the right gap


I would not worry about regaping in hopes of any preformance gains unless you got a no2 or boost

theres no such thing as a pre-gap. u can think that if u want to but when ur avg joe drops ur plugs when packign them and it lands on top there goes ur pre-gap...i always check the gap if they come "pre-gapped" b4 i put plugs in a car. and if not pre-gapped not hard at all to gap plugs.

not really supposed to gap platinum plugs, and they have a cardboard sleeve around the electrode / ground for the dropping reason.

According to the official GM Service Information books I have for 2K Cavalier/Sunfires the gapping is .050 for both the 2.2L or the 2.4L.

i agree my manual says to gap at . 050 for 2000 suns/cavs and thats what i use. i found that the so -called pre gap on the plugs never seemto be right when i check them .so i always gap them myself to be sure
