They should be gapped bigger,55 thou, but it has been so long since I did spark ignited engines I forgot the rule of thumb. Maximum gap is a mix of various worst case scenerios that prevent effective fire (aka fouling).

Ideally, they should also be indexed, but you need either gaskets or many more plugs.
