Which Spark Plugs?! Please Help!
Hey does your dog work for Honeywell ? Looks like he's making some Autolites 
Damn! I think he's trying to sqeak out a full set.
BTW - Tolerence on the plugs -------- .52-.56 --------- I wouldn't touch them unless they exceed spec.

lol
ok, so i'm not going to hurt the platinum tips by sticking a gap gauge in them? and what you mean if they exceed spec? you mean don't make them wider gapped, just make the gap smaller if they are over .56?

Personally , I like them @ .54 and every plug exactly the same.
DO NOT use anti-seize on those. The best way to thread plugs into the heads is with a scrap piece of 3/8 air hose to prevent cross threading.
You will not hurt the plugs gapping unless you go nuts and over extend. I doubt you'll do that.

Well , stop in here before you head to the store .. You'll use that anti-seize for other things such as O2 sensors when they get replace.97-02 models only have 4 threads in the heads. I had a problem with #3 and 4 plugs loosening up on me when I used it. A Ford tech who frequents this site told me to stop using it. Since then the plugs stay tight.
The 03 to present models use anti-seize because they have about twice the threads that we do.
