and you are wrong about that
the emissions sticker under the hood of my 972.4 show gap to be .060
Umm no.
That is coming strait from the GM repair manual for the 2002 model year. Those are the factory settings.
It could be your '97 are just were gaped different.
And the only plugs that you can't regap are Bosch's Platinum +4, for the obvious reason.

so i have my gap at .050 so is this really bad seeing as its suppose to be at .040
No, as long as your not getting a misfire. By having it little larger you may get better fuel efficiency and a complete combustion. But stay with GM's recommendations: 0.040.
there is the flaw in your specs you said you got the info from a 02 service manual
which is why i had asked him for his info
and ive gapped the AC platinum plugs for years , i use a snap on gapper (the least expensive tool they sell with their name on it , LOL)
it has a opening in 1 end that will pull the ground part of the electrode with out touching the platinum parts of the plug
Mr.Goodwrench-G.T. wrote:^ Ya but not every car uses the same gap that came from the manufacture. So you have to adjust to what the car company says not what the spark plug company says.
And you can adjust plugs with out hurting the core. So yes, you can adjust them to the car's manufacturer setting, by not doing so is ridiculous.
He is talking about delcos and if you put in the right delco number for your car it is set at the right gap. You are not supposed to re gap platinum per delco because you can damage the core.
