Spark Plug Gap 900 1991

Hello everyone, I own a '91 940 Turbo Wagon. I recently ordered a set of Bosch Platinum spark plugs. I understand that most plugs come pre-gapped from the manufacturer according to Volvy specs. Does anyone know what the actual spec is? I would feel better about checking the gap prio to installing the plugs!

Thanks ahead of time.

Rob

    General concensus, is the platnums shouldn't be run in a turbo engine. The electrodes fall apart quickly in them. They burn hotter also, which creates a hot spot in the cylinder, which could lead to pinging.

    But, I'm pretty sure the gap should be .028 Thats what it is on my engine, althought I run .036 because of the MSD
