Question Squeaky engine

I have a 1995 F-150 with a factory 351 engine. 152,000 original mile and engine is running strong. My problem is that there is a squeak coming from the front of my engine, that comes and goes and also varies with engine RPM. I have eliminated the belt and various pumps and alternator by removing the belt and starting the engine... the noise is still there. When I listen with a steth-a-scope it sounds like it is coming from the distributor area. Any ideas?

Squeaky engine

Does the temperature outside, moisture, ect. have any effect on it?

Distrib. bearings, at 152,000 its got a lot of mileage. Auto Zone time, go with the better one as I had problems with thier cheaper lifetime Warr. one.

Squeaky engine

Just don't go to Autozone at all. Go to a real parts place. The only difference between Autozone's 1 year and lifetime warrantied parts is the price, not the parts.

They have their place, but it isn't for purchasing electrical engine parts.
