The use of PTFE tape depends on the what you'll be using it for. PVC products dont need as much as what a brass or copper fitting may require
It's real important to apply your Teflon tape in a clockwise direction which coincidentally is the same way you thread on most of your fittings.. If you apply the tape in an anticlockwise direction it will unravel as you screw on the fitting which will render it useless. To apply , this is what l find the easiest.
flax fibers, teflon would probably do the trick too.

Yes, but only if it is necessary.
follow the top radiator large hose to the top of the engine, it connects to a black plastic distribution contraption... There will be two smaller hoses that connect to it as well... on the top there is an electric connector that goes to the temperature sensor which threads into the plastic case, it should be a brass hex head that should thread out for replacement... good luck!
Pipe joint compound or Teflon tape
Any pipe dope will work but Teflon tape is a lot cleaner.
Sadly no. If you look at the ends of the barrel, you will notice the threads. Those threads are not the same as a brass eagle threads.
No. Not without significant modification at least. You should look into upgrading to something.... not plastic.
