Spark plug gapper....errrr degapper?

[DCIV]

I have always hated the stupid thing at autozone that you put in your plug and then try to hold and hit the plug to close the gap.

Got to searching on amazon and found this:

To open up the gap they work just fine, I hate them to close the gap. Yes this is overkill....hi I'm Coop...but I like its simplicity.

What is hard about closing the gap with them? Just set it to the point you need a push it down.

Maybe your stronger than me but holding the tool and pushing down with a lightly tapping hammer always worked. Just a lot of holding and movement for an important engine piece. Never felt like I should be closing the gap that way.

Ya. I just use my thumb or finger to push it down. Or push it gently against something soft like a block of wood.

He's stronger than both of us put together

Yes...and then some. I'm gonna go take one of my spare plugs and see if I can do what he is saying.

Jeff are our plugs 14mm? I thought all plugs pretty much had the same thread and pitch, which is why I'm confused why it even matters what mm they are.

I have no clue. I think they're the same, but I can't promise that. I can check when I get home if you don't feel like pulling one out of your car.

I just lightly tap it on a solid surface then re gap as necessary

This is how I've always done it and I've never had an issue. No special tools and no super human strength needed.

[DCIV]

I know that way works. But I was just curious if there was a tool to make it perfect. Seems like there is. It’s not like it’s crazy expensive. Yeah Jeff if you have a plug handy I would like to know. I think this will work. I might give it a try if so.


Coop

[DCIV]

Hmmm. Just sent it to my dad to see if he can 3D print it. If it’s so easy to bend, then a plastic one should be able too.

14x1.25.

That was a 6G75 spark plug, but I'm pretty sure all Mitsu V6s use the same style of plug.

[DCIV]

And it’s unavalable. The 12mm one is in stock but not this one. Lol. Thank you Jeff.

eBay has them but I found a cheaper one and got it.

The part came in the mail. Found an old plug to try it out on. I like it, want to put some sort of plastic or wooden tip on it though.
