The NGK TR55IX plugs on pfyc.com recommend leaving the gap at .060 I checked partsamercia.com and they have the gap set at .040 I know the pfyc.com GTO web page is GTO specific but I wanted everyone else's input. Here are the sites of the plugs.
I was always told to never attempt to gap a Platinum or Iridium tipped plugs for fear of damaging it. That they are application specific and pre gapped. Any truth to that?

Yea, i've heard that too, I was just wondering why pfyc.com said there iridium NGK are set at .060 and when I did a search on parts america they had theirs set at .040. I was just wondering. Trying to do a little research before I make a purchase.
If you have the correct gaping tool (not the .99 cent jober from AZ) then yes you can gap and regap platinum and iridium plugs. I picked mine up at sears and it has varius gaged wire attached to it ranging from .020-.045 and the part of it that you use to open and close the gap on the ground electrode in like a to pronged fork.
