    I'm running NGK Iridiums. Running excellent, still the crummy gas mileage I've always gotten, runs smooth. Didn't gap, I don't think you're supposed to gap iridium plugs.

    If you start reading all the spark plug posts you'll get overwhelmed, almost as bad as oil posts.

    No worries about the pic. I dunno bout your plugs. If my engine tells me to use dual grounds then that's what i would run. Especially when there is a sticker right on the engine saying to...
