[s-cars] Plug gap

[Matthew Russell]

Bob - I could be wrong about this, but these plugs should technically 
NOT have the gap adjusted.  They're preset from Bosch and unless some 
handling monkey dropped them on the floor should not be messed with.
(personally, i'd get another new plug if i discovered that to be the 
case...)

If you have one that is much greater than the other 4, or if (IMHO) 
they've seen 25,000 miles or more - just replace them all.

Bosch's website backs some of this info up.  They also don't give a gap 
spec, or have a decipherable "code" that would dictate what the gap 
should be near as i can find.
