Also it's a good time to change plugs.

And you should atleast try the pushrod install yourself. No way I would pay a shop $150 to install pushrods.

It took me about 1 1/2 hr to change rockers the last time I did it. But I had just done 2 camshaft swaps and 3 Rocker changes in the last 2 months. It is easier to do once you leave out the back coilpack bracket bolts off. I think most of the time is spent getting those on and off. First time around figure on 3 - 3 1/2 hours since you are not familiar with the process and you want to take the time to do it right.
This guide will give you a step by step of the process except you will not have to take the rocker stand bracket off.
Good Luck!
