intake leaking oil

my 86 351w f150 has been leaking oil for some time now,and i just now have time to tear it apart &replace gaskets.I did this twice on a 302&351 car.should it be the same job&does the the dist. have to come out again.that seamed to be the biggest pain in @#$&,was getting the dist out&back in again!thanks.

perhaps a 351 is different, but you definitely do not on a 302

i dont see what you would have to pull the dizzy to change the gaskets, that doesnt make any sense at all.

and by the way the reliabilty of the haynes manual leaves some room for improvement. i look in mine and it does say anything about the distributor rod for the oil pump at all. makes you wonder how many people have fried there engines using that manual
