Default E3 Plugs Question

So do the E3 plugs allow for gaping to .65? I've seen 2 different pictures of them on their site, one looked to have 3 grounding points and the diamond cutaway in the center. The other showed with one grounding post with the tip being the diamond shaped cutaway.

Any info is appreciated.. If not able to gap to .65, then might go with Bosch.

the e3 plugs are like the Bosch platinum 4 plugs. they don't need a gap because the way the are designed.

dont know about a bosch platinum 4, but ive used the bosch iridium fusion which has 4 electrodes and requires no gap and after trying a couple other plugs, i`m putting them back in this week. i havent tried the e3 plugs. ive heard people say good things, and ive heard bad comments too. i`m not impressed with any of the platinum plugs with the .060-.065 gap. longalan recomended these to me and for $8.00 ea, i think they are a good plug too. i might however try the e3`s one day

Dont Go Anywhere Near Those e3s. There A Gimmick Plug. Junk! I Put Those IN My 06 Charger (thank God not The Mustang) And The second I Did There Was The Worst Hesitation And Missing I Have Ever came Across In A Car. I Went Back And Doubble Checked My Work Cause You Know Theese Dodge Engines And There Into The Motor Plug Design Hemi. So I Thought mayeb I messed Up, Cross Threaded Or Did Something...But Everything Was Fine....It idled Ok But The Second I Stepped On It...Ran So Rich Sometimes The car Just Stalled....It sputtered And Knocked And My God I Thouht The Motor Was Going To Blow Everytime I Stepped On it......A Few Days Later I Just said The Heck With it And Bough NGKs Dropped Them In And The Car Runs Like A Dream........Or Is it A nightmare Cause Its A Dodge?

i looked at the e3`s at oreillys and they just looked cheap to me. the price was half of the bosch. i guess plugs are like what brand of oil to use, always a debate issue.

I put these plugs into my car and it didn't fix the miss it had in the number 6 cylinder. I then went and bought the expensive, double-platinum tips that were designed for my car and it ran properly.

I say stay away from these gimmick plugs.
