I've just recently gotten my car to run OK....after over a year. I have a 1992 lexus sc300 with the turbonetics kit. It has the TO4E-60 turbo with extra injectors. Right now I am only running 8 lbs of boost, but have the capacity for much more considering I have a 3mm head gasket. Six months ago or so I purchased some NGK Iridium IX 3764's hoping to fix some of my engine problems. I gave up trying to gap them after breaking the electrode off of the first one. Is there an easier way to gap them?

Iridium is very brittle. To make the gap smaller I had good luck gently tapping the electrode on the flat part of a bench vise. By tapping I mean just using the weight of the plug to do the work (letting it fall about 1/2 inch or so above the surface of the vise). Measure the gap frequently (wire feeler gauge) so as not to overshoot your target.

yes.... shit can them and buy a set of 3330's and gap them with a feeler gauge to .022-.025" (don't use the coin type of gapper). You will have no problems and you will be running plugs that only cost $2 instead of $12.

I used a micrometer to gap mines.
