Just do what you want. Its your car, your engine, I do not mind.

On no! Who knew that gapping your plugs at .032 would ruin your engine.=20

Thanks for that. I=E2=80=99ll certainly bear it in mind. Likewise, I=E2=
=80=99ll keep a
close eye on my engine=E2=80=99s temperature. The latter is quite well
protected with a modern rad, all the correct baffles, 5 blade fan plus
electronic fan. But, as I said, I=E2=80=99ll keep an eye on it.
Someone mentioned that he used =E2=80=9CIridium=E2=80=9D plugs from NGK=
. I googled
them=E2=80=A6.horribly expensive. Can they be worth it in our old cars?

For me, i prefer Champion plugs plugs to NGK, but that=C2=B4s a matter =
of
taste. I think both, Champion and NGK, are of similar quality. Matter
of taste, as I wrote. But NOT the car manufacturer determines the plug
gap, its the plug manufacturer. Definitely the car manufacturer takes
this for his specs in the workshop manual.
There is to much hype about plugs anyway. I am working as a
professional, Elecrtonics and Elecrtrcian engineer, at a big classic
car parts supplier here in Europe and I never go away from the given
plug gap as set by the plug manufacturer. Austin-Healey engines are
not high tech, they are tractor engines and can take a lot of misfit,
but anyway BMC knew at the time what=C2=B4s best to do with them, even =
its
printed 60 or 70 years ago.
Some people try to adjust the fuel mixture with a CO-tester. You can do
that, but it doesn=C2=B4t give best results for road use, especially in
hotter climates and high above sea level.
When you are very good in engine engineering and have all the tools you
can try to find some more horsepower in your engine, but you always pay
that with some more heat produced, which is not at all good for our old
BMC engines.

You may be right. Not sure.
Actually I thought that the gap was determined by the car=E2=80=99s
manufacturer ie one could expect to find the same plug in two different
cars and to find that the recommended gap was not the same for each
car.
Likewise, the BMC manual suggests Champion plugs at 0.024=E2=80=9D to 0=
.026=E2=80=9D
and that was some 60+ years ago. I=E2=80=99ve always been told that Cha=
mpion
plugs aren=E2=80=99t the best in the world and I=E2=80=99m sure that a =
modern NGK can
stand a little more heat than the Champions that were around 60 years
ago.
Anyhow, I=E2=80=99ll keep an eye on them. I=E2=80=99m a pretty tame dri=
ver so there
won=E2=80=99t be undue stress under the bonnet.

Spark plugs are designed and tested to be used with the gap given by
the producer of the spark plug.
When you widen the gap the plug gets hotter as it is designed for and
the electrode can melt or wear very fast.
Its a very short win you gain modifying them.
I never understand why people think they are better engineers and know
better than the designers of the system they use.

I run my MkII BT7 on NGK BP6ES which were recommended by some of the
wise ones on this list.
The car has a =E2=80=9CSports=E2=80=9D coil and a 123Ignition distribut=
or. DW fast road
cam=E2=80=A6etc
Now, talking of =E2=80=9Crecommended=E2=80=9D, the rolling road guys to=
ld me to set the
plugs at 0.028=E2=80=9D and pooh-poohed anything bigger when I suggeste=
d that
I=E2=80=99d heard of much greater gaps with my approximate setup.
So, I went with 0.028.
The other day, I decided to experiment and set my spare set at 0.032=E2=
=80=9D.
Same NGKs, no mileage on them..decent plugs. Anyhow, it made a very
surprising difference. All round performance is much enhanced.
Despite it=E2=80=99s 3:54 diff and 28% OD, it was never sluggish on our=
local
hills. But now it fairly zooms up them.
To be frank, all a bit of a surprise.
Not boasting=E2=80=A6just putting that out there in case anyone else is
thinking of going up a few thou=E2=80=A6..
When I asked about gaps a few years back, some of the suggestions were
near 0.040=E2=80=9D. Surely that a bit much?
