What is the proper gap for the plugs on a 2013 Ford Expedition 5.4 engine?

What is the cylinder layout I have a misfire on #8 and wondering if it is drivers side or passenger side rear?

The gap is pre set on these plugs

Passanger side front to back 1234
Drivers side front to back 5678

Your misfire is the rear most drivers side

The 2013 has the adjustable gap plugs, best to check the gap on them and not trust them out of the box. Our 2007 have the fixed gap plugs as well as many 2008.

.041 thousandths is gap for 2013 5.4 motor. Like JExpedition said, you always check, Many times I saw parts hit floor. I can't tell you back when I sold parts, that packs of plugs hit the floor when pulling them down off shelf. Depending how they hit floor either nothing changes, or the gap gets smashed down .020. And on top of that package looked fine after fall. Oops!

Driver rear iirc


Misfires are usually wet COPs or an injector that's done
