no engine stated? wow. 3.5L? says no gap settings.
its in the FSM. many cars dont put it in the op guide as the plugs
are rated to 80k miles or more, and is not consider, operator deal.
sadly.
and many folks think the new plugs are set in the factory , WRONG. (comment is for J plugs not surface fire tech)

i see you are there.!
many stores, list it wrongly too.... vast....
but you never said country car was sold.
in the USA we open the hood, look up and behold, its right there.
the vacuum and turn up sticker,
now alldata.com
quotes to follow.........all.
the original equipment spark plugs installed in the Odyssey 3.5L V-6 engine are platinum tip spark plugs, and the plug gap must not be adjusted.
and other warnings, and the no file them warn.g
On CR-V and 4-cylinder Odyssey models, adjust the spark plug gap to 0.039-0.043 inches (1.0-1.1mm). On Odysseys with the V6 engine, check, but do not adjust the spark plug gap. The spark plug gap should be 0.039-0.043 inches (1.0-1.1mm). If the spark plug gap exceeds 0.051inches (1.3mm), replace the spark plug.

so 1mm , if not v6

Inspect the electrodes and ceramic insulator.

• Burned or worn electrodes may be caused by:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • Advanced ignition timing
  
  
  
  • Loose spark plug
  
  
  
  • Plug heat range too hot
  
  
  
  • Insufficient cooling
  
  
  
  

• Fouled plug may be caused by:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • Retarded ignition timing
  
  
  
  • Oil in combustion chamber
  
  
  
  • Incorrect spark plug gap
  
  
  
  • Plug heat range too cold
  
  
  
  • Excessive idling/low speed running
  
  
  
  • Clogged air cleaner element
  
  
  
  • Deteriorated ignition coils
  
  
  
  

2.


Check the electrode gap (A). If the gap is over the standard, adjust the gap with suitable gapping tool.







Electrode Gap




Standard (New):


1.0-1.1 mm (0.039-0.043 in.)












3.


Replace the plug at the specified interval, or if the center electrode is rounded (A). Use only the spark plugs as listed.

AutoZone's online specifications page gives this message..."Refer to the underhood emissions label for specific spark plug gap information" They go on to say..."Caution! Gap is not adjustable on certain plug brands"

Hello, I hope this info helps...(subytech1)...REMOVAL
In this engine, each individual spark plug is located under each ignition coil.

1. Prior to removing spark plug, spray compressed air around base ofignition coil at cylinder head. This will help prevent foreign materialfrom entering combustion chamber.
2. On this engine each individual ignition coil must be removedto gain access to each spark plug. Refer to Ignition CoilRemoval/Installation.
3. Check condition of coil O-ring and replace as necessary.

1. Inspect spark plug condition. Refer to Spark Plug Conditions.

CLEANING
Theplugs may be cleaned using commercially available spark plug cleaningequipment. After cleaning, file center electrode flat with a smallpoint file or jewelers file before adjusting gap.

CAUTION: Never use a motorized wire wheel brush to clean sparkplugs. Metallic deposits will remain on spark plug insulator and willcause plug misfire.

ADJUSTMENT

Setting Spark Plug Gap - Typical
Check spark plug gap with a gap gauge tool. If the gap is not correct,adjust it by bending ground electrode. Never attempt to adjust gap bybending center electrode.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: This engine is equipped with copper core groundelectrode spark plugs. They must be replaced with the same type/numberspark plug as the original. If another spark plug is substituted,pre-ignition will result.

Special care should be taken when installing spark plugs into cylinderhead spark plug wells. Be sure plugs do not drop into plug wells asground straps may be bent resulting in a change in plug gap, orelectrodes can be damaged.

Always tighten spark plugs to specified torque. Over tightening cancause distortion resulting in a change in spark plug gap or a crackedporcelain insulator.

1. Start spark plug into cylinder head by hand to avoid cross threading.
2. Tighten spark plugs to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.) torque.
3. Before installing coil(s), check condition of coil O-ring andreplace as necessary. To aid in coil installation, apply silicone tocoil O-ring.
4. Install ignition coil(s). Refer to Ignition Coil Removal/Installation.

Notice: This engine has aluminum cylinder heads. Do not remove the spark plugs from a hot engine, allow it to cool first. Removing the spark plugs from a hot engine may cause spark plug thread damage or cylinder head damage.
Gap the spark plug, using round wire type spark plug gap gage. 


Gap Adjust the spark plug gap to 1.14 mm (0.045 in).

DO NOT coat the spark plugs with anti seize compound. Over torquing could occur and damage to the cylinder head threads may result.

If your going to use Platnum plugs, DO NOT GAP them. Just check the gap and if there not the right gap, ask for new one's with the right gap.

The metal on the PLatnum plugs, are harder and my break apart in the cylinder .

Good luck and hope this helps
