Can the sparkplug gap be change to bigger gap?

My car sparkplug gap is 0.044

What happens if I make the gap bigger?

Q: Is the correct spark plug gap important?

Always use factory recomended gaps unless the engine has been modified. The manufacturer has designed the complete ignition system as a package; the voltage and timing of the spark from the ignition system is tailored for a specific plug gap. Changing the gap can lead to intermittent misfirng, which will foul the plug.
When altering the gap size for high performance ignition modifications, never go more than +/- 0.008" from the stock setting because the gap surfaces between the ground and the center electrode may not be parallel for larger changes. Higher compression or boosted engines generally require a smaller plug gap and a higher ignition voltage.

NGK... the brand.... they make all sorts of spark plugs. They probably even make plugs for lawn mowers. I hope you are not thinking the spark plugs that fit your Leganza will fit onto a bike.

well now you have to rember daewoo also use NGK as ome, mazda uses the twin ground if you check my earlier post for the rotary engine, that is only made by NGK and denso (NGK is stock). toyota uses that same plug as OME till they changed over to a SPECIAL irdium plug all made by NGK. not just sport bikes and some car's come with them. NGK is actualy OME parts for your car.

as for which is better NGK and DENSO i used both personaly i can say i cant tell a damn diffrence. i notice a diffrence using twin ground NGK and DENSO's over the bosch +4 but thats not the battle.

Yeah when i went to the dealer to buy some new plugs I saw that they were NGK.
Mine says NGK R what does the R mean??

And it is OEM not OME.

no idea man... if its an NGK then its an NGK, why don't you ask the dealer if he knows the difference? can you lockup that on the NGK site??
