I don't even think the gap specs are IN the owner's manual. If you don't have a shop manual you can go to NGK's website and enter your vehicle information. They have all the stock specs along with NGK part #s loaded to their site..

Put in G-power (NGK's Platinum), you don't gap them or the Iridium.

Every plug needs to have its gap checked prior to installation, no matter what the manufacturer says about it.

It is in the owner's manual (at least for rd2). 0.039 - 0.043 in (1.0 - 1.1 mm)

For all of the B 1.8/2.0. 1mm. I use the 0.040 wire gage and it works fine.
