Those POS gapper disc are garbage! They are not worth the metal they are stamped from.
The only thing I could possibly state to the contrary is plugs like the POS Bosch +2 or +4 style.
Otherwise you gap EVERY plug and YES no matter even if they say they are pre-gapped.
Agreed. I used to have a couple of old RX-7s, and the NGK plugs I put in those didn't look as if they could be gapped. Very strange looking plugs. Other than that, I've always gapped my plugs.
Edit: just found a picture of them. The second one from the right looks like what I put in my '85 with the 12A 1.1L carb'd rotary. link The ones that went in the '87 looked like one of those 3 prong deals to the left of that. They were extremely weird, due to the fact that there is a leading plug and a trailing plug, I believe because the combustion chamber is so wide. (Why do I feel like I just hijacked my own thread?)
