Some spark plugs come pre- gaped depending on the vehicle and type of spark plug. But even pre-gaped plugs should be checked with a feeler gauge to be sure it is correct
If the plugs you are using are not pre-gaped a feeler gauge must be utilized
in order to get an accurate gap reading. Your local auto parts store can help you with what the gap should be for your vehicle.

What is function of the feeler gauge?
feeler gauge
What is lest count of feeler gauge?
0.03mm is the least count for feeler gauge
How you can take main bearing clearance marine engine?
the clearance is measured at the top of the bearing with the help of a feeler gauge
Why is there one brass feeler gauge in a set?
The first generation of electronic ignition systems had a requirement to set the air gap between the reluctor and the pickup. It had to be set with a non ferrous metal gauge. That is why the brass blade in a feeler gauge set.
How do you adjust the valves on a caterpillar C15 engine?
Adjusting the valves on a Caterpillar C 15 Engine is easy and does not take long at all. All you need is a wrench and a feeler gauge, You will then loosen up the bolt, place the feeler gauge in between the rocker arm and valve and then turn the wrench until the rocker arm touches the feeler gauge.
Is there a gauge or something to set spark plugs or you take them and put them in?
You just check the gap but usually they are good if new and for the right application. The gap is the air gap between electrode and ground strap. Just use a feeler gauge and they are typically anywhere from around .30-.65. To adjust, just bend electrode with a needle nose and recheck with feeler. There should only be a slight drag when pulled through not too tight. I have seen disc shaped feller guages about the size of a half dollar that go on a keychain. these you just turn until you hit the right number.
How do you calibrate a feeler gauge using a caliper?
To calibrate a feeler gauge using a caliper, measure the thickness of the feeler gauge blades at multiple points along the length using the caliper. Check these measurements against the stated thickness of the blades to ensure accuracy. Make any necessary adjustments to the feeler gauge if the measurements deviate significantly.
What instrument can be used to measure dynamic Valve Clearance?
A feeler gauge is typically used to measure dynamic valve clearance in internal combustion engines. The gauge is inserted between the valve stem and the rocker arm to determine the correct clearance while the engine is running.
Cant get feeler gauge in between adjusting bolt and valve?
If you can't fit a feeler gauge between the adjusting bolt and the valve, it may indicate that the clearance is too tight. Double-check that the engine is at the correct temperature and that you are using the correct size of feeler gauge for the specified clearance. If necessary, try loosening the adjusting bolt slightly to create enough space for the gauge. If problems persist, consult the service manual for the specific engine to ensure proper adjustment procedures.
How do you measure valve lash?
Valve lash is measured using a feeler gauge. First, the engine should be at operating temperature and turned off. You then locate the valve you want to measure, insert the appropriate thickness of feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the valve stem, and check for resistance; it should slide in with slight friction. If the measurement is not within the specified range, adjustments can be made by loosening the locknut and turning the adjustment screw.
IS standards calibration for feeler gauge?
Yes, it is important to calibrate feeler gauges to ensure accurate measurements. Calibration involves comparing the gauge readings to a known standard and adjusting as needed to minimize errors. Regular calibration helps maintain the accuracy and reliability of the feeler gauge for precise measurements.
What items are 0.02 inches thick?
