    If it's misfiring, maybe.

    Run a .050 to .060 gap.

    Otherwise a failing cat converter is the reason for the smell.

    Its not misfiring.
    Not sure I can just do that in this case. I have unknown variables here that I have to consider as well.

    The plugs installed are NGK R TR55 V-power.

    First question: After 100k miles +/- 5k or so. How much do you suppose the gap would open up during that time?
