Default OEM Plugs Pregapped?

I'm changing out all my ignition stuff and I am wondering if I need to do anything to the spark plugs i bought from the dealer before i put them in.

Thanks for answering a dumb q

Depends on what car.

You can find your gap spec underneath your hood if the motor is in the car it should have been from the factory.

Always check the gap.

99% of the time they are already gapped. However I always confirm.
