Correct, no early hemi spark plug should be installed with the washer in
place. Remove the washers, gap and install the spark plugs. With stock
pistons and deck heighth, there will be no part interference.

Subject: Spark plugs,
Hi all experienced hemi (392) mechanics,
I have a question about what is given in the service manual chap. 45
SPARK PLUGS, sect c
"No gaskets are used on double rocker shaft engines"
I think the very same topic was discussed not long ago on the listserver
but have been unable to track down the reply to what is the meaning of
the given recommendation.
Is the instruction that one ought to remove the washer originally found
on the new spark plugs?
When looking at an old (original ?) one it has no washer, but then again
if comparing the overall length from seating to the top electrode it
measures; 0,04" shorter if washer is kept on a new plug and 0,04"
LONGER if the washer is cut away.
Have I misunderstood the intention if removing the washers, and will
there be any risk for close contact while measuring length longer than
compared to an old spark plug (new and old spark plug are different
brands)
Grateful for some good advice on this,
Ulf Larsson, 3N57 2660

MANY very positive comments on Steve Charrette and Imperial Services and
the parts offered there.
No further comments needed.
Clearly a VERY GOOD SOURCE.
How come I had never heard of them before?? I dunno.

Hi Wayne;
I also answered Ulf about plugs. I explained on the many hemis I
rebuilt, many of the tubes are so galled up , and in some casses, the end
of the tube has seperated and allows oil to get into the tube and short
the plug. I do install the gasket to prevent further damage to the mating
surface of the tube. In many casses, I have had to replace the tube
because of this situation. The extra .020 to .030 shorter reach does not
affect the plug firing properly because of the extended reach of the
electrodes. Most of the damage done to the tube is because too much torque
has been applied to the plug without the gasket. In a few extreme casses,
when removing the plug, the end of the tube comes with it because of
over-torquing and spreading the end of the tube that "clamps" around the
plug. It is cut out like an aluminum washer and is almost paper thin.
And so speaks the oricle! Discussion?
George
