04 1.3 duratec spark plug gap - RB320
Hi All

having read all the dramas about getting plugs out, I can't seem to find what the plug gap should be set for a 1.3 Collection


cheers

Your new plugs should come ready gapped-but an 04 Ka should have a Rocam(Duratec not Endura)engine with no plug concerns.

But only if they're single electrode plugs.

You shouldn't attempt to regap multi-electrode plugs as you will not get the gaps exactly the same.
