Stock plugs, stock gap is best
As for seafoam, it's doesn't do squat. I did it every oil change for years and still had to clean valves at 75k.
But if you want to try, there is a vacuum port right smack dab in the middle top of the intake manifold. Put seafoam in a cup. Connect a hose from that port to the cup and slowly suck a quarter of a bottle in. Let sit and start. Mine never smoked much.

looks like the Boost issue has ceased since the lower Sensor fix and slight upgrade. However now there is a new problem .. highlighted in my lastest thread: pre and post spark plug analysis.
-- the Saga continues -- I just hope it doesnt cut out the lining of my tiny pockets.

I think he was just asking you by "lower sensor," you meant the TMAP. He wasn't implying anything.

so I went to the hardware store, found a similar screw with just a slighly larger thickness but same thread, lined it with plumbers tape.. added a peal washer and put it back in... worked like a charm and is holding the sensor in even tighter now... zero leak.
sorry about my confusion earlier.. the issue with I am still determining but am highly suspicious of a cracked or broken Lash Adjuster or Rocker Arm happend like a week or less a part from me getting this fixed..
