"Since the gap is always going become bigger with wear/age it's better to start on the low side."
Thanks for pointing this out. It is an abvious conlusion, but I bet that this is off the radar scope for +99% of the BB readers.
I gapped to .035 a year ago. Next month I will do my annual plug work and see where the gap is. It might very well still be in the tolerance spec. Folks who gap to .039 will be out of tolerance range by the time they get around to service, and might suffer performance issues by then as well.
