Brian: FROM STEVE BENNETT'S "TYPE 1 ENGINE ASSEMBLY MANUAL". page 25/ The spark plugs are installed next. When using the Bosch W8A plugs with (009 Distributor), the correct gap is .028". When using Champion REJ38 or REL37B shielded aircraft plugs, the correct gap is .016". Always use anti-seize thread lubricant on the threads of the spark plugs. Be careful not to get any on the plug as the lubricant can short and burn the plugs out. Never torque the plugs to more than 22 ft. lbs. When removing plugs, be sure that the engine is slightly warm. Never remove plugs from a cold engine as you can pull the threads. When using auto plugs with a magneto, the plugs must be regaped to .016". Note: When using Bosch W8A plugs with a magneto, reduce the gap to .016" FROM STEVE BENNETT'S "TYPE 1 ENGINE ASSEMBLY MANUAL". page 25
