today I was changing my spark plugs... went from original to
BOSCH SUPER CLASS PLATINUM+2.. here is the question i had.. these say that the gap is not adjustable. my mechanic said they should be okay. NAPA said it was a direct replacement. Should i worry?

HELP

Yeah, they're okay plugs. I prefer Autolite (double platinum )plugs myself but you should be good this time around.

you can take this information for what you will, and it's more of a warning to not run them longer than the suggested internal more than it is a don't run them

i don't know how well you can see this picture, the plug on the left is a bosch and when I pulled the plug I thought that it had pre-ignited

it had roughly 45k on it, the ngk's next to it had about 120k'ish

you've also got a different bosch plug than this was too so hopefully it won't be as susceptible to drastic wear

but you should be just fine with those plugs for the suggested interval

have you noticed if you've got a slight stutter just over 4000 rpm and 4400 rpm with them?

those plugs came out of a vw bug

unless you plan on running the plugs excessively longer than you're supposed to while driving like a indy car driver you should be 100% fine
