I know the recommended gap is .054, looking for any tips on different gap.
just dropped my engine back in, made a few mods and was wondering if I could lessen the gap. Any info will be helpful!!

Unless your running a blower, I would leave the stock gap alone. The larger the gap, the longer the burn time, the more efficient the fuel ignites, the more power it makes. Pretty simple. Leave it.
