    It had a dyno run a couple of weeks ago and only made 138 bhp and 118 torque (iirc) still waiting for my mate to drop the print out off to post up on here.

    When they were running it on the dyno one of their machines picked up that there was a slightly high resistance on the spark plugs. What should the plug gap be on the ABF engines? It has NGK 3 prong plugs which are preset to 1mm, is this correct? The haynes manual max is 0.80mm for the ABF engine but doesn't give a figure for the plugs which are in there.
