hey is anyone using NGK G-POwer #BKR6EGP?
If so did you have to set the gap or is it already gapped for .044?
Im confused with their info on the NGK website

Usually they are "Gapped To Run." But sometimes they aren't, I ran into that problem the other day at work (Auto Zone), the gap was off by like .05 thousandths.
Here's my question though, is NGK better than Denso or vise versa? I'm thinking of "snagging" a set of Denso's tonight when I go in and trying them out. $13 a plug is just ridiculous!

NGK is what you need to use...

Yeah, I have them in my VG engine. They've worked well for me and I like them. Check the gap before putting in, because it's NOT 0.044" for your engine, the range the owner's manual gives is 0.039" - 0.043", so I always do 0.041". You'll find that these plugs will meet the above-range.

When I went to replace those I found that either some of the manifold bolts were missing or broken off, thanks to whoever done the tranny work before I got the car. n:

I put a set of some crappy Champions in my car in March of 05. that June i visited a friend out of town and when i was leaving going up the hill i noticed all of a sudden i had no power, than my car died, it started right back up and about 20 feet later same thing lose power than died. So i turned around and went back to my buddies we pulled the plugs and the electrodes that come from the porceleyne were melted even. I put a set of the NGK V-POWER and yesterday i changed the plugs and they were still in good shape, honestly i really didn't need to change them but better safe than sorry. I had them on for 10 months and they looked that good. I'll stick to NGK. This time i put a set of NGK G-POWER I'm sure i won't be disappointed

I have changed them almost thrice ( over 60000 miles or so ) one two cars and never set the gaps. Maybe I should pull em out and take a look.
