Default Few Questions

Hopefully, In the next few weeks I will be changing my valve cover gaskets.

While I'm at it I've got a nice pin size hole in my timing chain cover so I think I'm going to change the timing chain cover/chain out as well, and do a timing bump.
(going to have a buddy help me with this).

I've got a few questions

1. I've read alot about guys on the forum doin the timing bump, how much is it recommended to bump it up.(for best fuel mileage/performance)
2. I'm interested in the Sea Foam treatment, what all does it do and what is the proper way to use it(I'm not the best with mechanical stuff, more electronics).
After using the sea foam would it be better for me to swap over to synthetic oil, or just stick with the ol' valvoline.


Any Input is appreciated
