Re: 03 Accord Spark Plug Gap
 

I agree with everything you say, however, the owners manual details all the
steps to replace the spark plugs but doesn't specify the gap. Also, on each
of the NGK boxes that the new spark plugs came in, there is a statement that
says to gap the plug to the car manufactures specification and doesn't say
that they are preset.

which is true, but...

they are preset to the application. the number on the box? that's the
application. if you have some use other than that, then you may well
need to re-gap according to a different engine manufacturer's
specification, but again, you're buying plugs for the apps on the side
of the box, they're set right. go ahead & check them yourself if you
don't believe.
