Gapping AC-Delco Iridium 41-110 Spark Plugs
Hi,
I recently purchased new spark plugs, wires, and Oxygen sensors on my 2001 Corvette Coupe 6M, with 60K miles. Before I installed the new spark plugs, I noticed they were at different gaps, so I gapped them all to 0.040". I have used NGK spark Platinum plugs before on other vehicles and they were on the money out of the box. I have read also that some of these spark plugs should not be gapped. Are the AC Iridium plugs one of them?

A new spark plug has been released for use in the above vehicles. The new spark plug has an Iridium tip instead of the current Platinum tip. Due to the different tip design, the gap of the spark plug has also changed.
The new spark plug, P/N 12571164 with AC Delco P/N 41-985, is gapped to 1.01 mm (0.040 in) when the spark plug is made.
The spark plug gap is set during manufacturing and should not be changed or damage to the spark plug may result. Any new spark plug found to not be properly gapped should not be used.
