Default Head gasket replacement help!

I have a 97 f150 xlt 4x4 with a 4.6. It has a 105,000 mi. and it runs like a top. I checked the oil yesterday and it was a quart low. I found the missing oil in the coolant overflow tank. There is no coolant in the oil. I plan on trying a head gasket sealer for a short term fix till I got the exta coin to fix it. It's not my daily driver so if the sealer does'nt work I'll just keep adding oil. My first question is can I pull the heads without pulling the motor? #2 is what tools do I need besides your basic tools? I hear you need special tools for the cams. What exactly do you need? Thers are so many differnt tools and kits I see on the net I'm baffled. Can I rent them anywhere? Autozone and advance does'nt have them and I hate to have to spend a hundred or two on tools I wont use again. #3 does anyone know of a step buy step how to on the net? Sorry for the long post and have a great day!

This site is a joke. Five minutes on a mustang forum and all my questions were answered. More than two days on this site and not one reply. The post to reply on this site has to be more than 9-1
