The pre-gapped ones are often actually off anyways, always check them before throwing them in, it only takes a few seconds.

it's in mm, it's an old filler gauge that has like 5 or 6 brass strips that you hold together or something.

the service manual from honda says 1.0-1.1mm or 0.039-0.043in.
when you screw them in trq them to 18nm or 13ft-lbs do yourself a huge favor and go to the local parts place and buy yourself a $.99 spark plug gaper. leave it in your tool box and you'll never have to worry about it again
