I will try

OMG - Just checked the gaps on a new set of plugs I was about to put in - 55/70 thou ! - in my mind they come out the box at 25 thou

Keep them coming. Your videos are so informative and now I am off to check the gaps every single plug I can find. I watched the video of your gapping method a few weeks back. You have really inspired me to get my car running better. Legend!

That’s what it’s designed for to show that a lot of the basics can be done at home

And he was right, but most have forgotten…..

Great set of vids! Much appreciated!!

Interesting very interesting chap had no idea what he he'd done

It seems the majority of people are running with the wrong spark gap. What might explain that, at least in part, is that the latest Haynes manual specifies a 0.8mm gap for all sparks in all applications. That's about 32 thou, and I think that's pretty much how they come out of the box.

Most don’t even check it.

I wonder how high the compression ratio is on that engine! 215psi on the compression tester is similar to what my engine was, and mine is 11.4:1 static compression ratio (noting cam specs and timing can affect static vs cranking comp). Mine has been a big challenge to get the timing correct across the RPM range without pinging.

You have too much compression if you have to pull timing. With a typical road cam it’s likely that car featured had a compression ratio of around 10.25 to 10.5:1
