1. There is nothing wrong with the factory recommended spark plug or an equivelent from any reputable company. My preference is Champion so that is what I buy. 2. Unless the intake or throttle body is cruddy, see no reason why you should seafoam it. No reason why you shouldn't if that is what floats your boat. Never have on mine, have no particular reason to believe I should. 3. Wrong person to ask. Don't see where there is any benefit. The factory unit supplies fresh air from cold air duct. Warm air when outside temperatue is cold and on cold start. Aftermarket supplies warm under hood air under all conditions and looks cool. Not really sure there is any real benefit from all the time under hood warm air, if I thought there was I'd install one. If looking cool is what you want, it's your car. You have no idea how much money I have spent for the same reason. Highly personal though! Although keep in mind one thing. If you have smog requirements in your state the aftermarket unit may not pass smog requirements. Nasty thing to find out after you have thrown out the old parts. |
her in canada noone uses seafoam for anything never seen
that stuff anywhere dont no much about it either but i will say this you could safely use any carb or even throttle body cleaner to clean it out. and i like using AC DELCO oem spark plugs in fact thats what i have in my engine right know |
use throttle body cleaner on the intake to avoid stripping off the coating on the inside.
I've been told carb cleaner contains compounds that can damage the above referenced coating. |
