Heck no.. and here is the solid point.. I assumed that
I would just do the Oil pan gasket.. but I dont see where
it's leaking.. I'm thinking.. waiting.. maybe Bill Ford will
come by and trade me for a new Ford. Since he loves
the ones that have been and proven to be "FORD TOUGH!"
and Mine has.. It's go serious miles on it.. in many, many
states.. and still going.. Just a couple of sensors..
and these gaskets.. So.. I'm holding out.. I think Bill
would like this Candy Cane Color for the CHRISTMAS
Holidays.....Dear Mr. Bill Ford.. Please bring nice shinny
BLACk FORD F250 with XRADIO INSTALLED and the bud
light Girls in the back seat.... I will trade you straight
for my 1995 F150 (With 351 Engine) and Candy Cane
Red on White.. You will love my Truck like I have!

well I just did my 88 F-250 300 today, whew, a pain but not impossible. some things I would recommend..
DEFINATELY clean the entire engine before attempting it, it was impossible tokeep the gasket clean for installation. second, be sure to have a 1/2" chisel and a small pocketknife available to remove the old gasket. that was definately the most difficult part of the job. and to any of you did this all by yourself.. Wow, I am impressed. I got the felpro blue gasket (Which I definately recommend) I couldnt get the clips to work all that well.
It took me about 3 1/2 hours with a couple of breaks in between.
other things, a 10" socket extention with a locking bit, is definately helpful, as is a ratchet with a pivot at the head.

Replacing the gasket is a p.i.t.a. but take your time and you can do it.
When I replaced my oil pan gasket, I didn't find those little potioning pegs helpful at all (probably because I was under there for a while and brain not clicking).
I did, however found that using a little thin thread to tie the gasket secure in every bolt hole made things easier and kept the gasket from falling in the inside of the pan.
Of course I took out the thread as I loosely installed the bolts one at a time.
Good luck!
