Hi,
what should the gap be on my NGK IKR9F8 spark plugs for my 2011 fiat punto evo sporting 1.4 (the turbo multiair model), as I can't seem to find it in the owners manual. Also do the NGK spark plugs come pre-gapped?

They come pre gapped.

Do not attempt to change the gap on any precious metal plug. Some say never even try to check the gap (and certainly not with a ball type gapping tool).

The iridium tip is both fine and extremely brittle, and easily broken.

If you are lucky, it will break when you try to gap it. If you are unlucky, it may just weaken it and it will break inside your engine.
