Alldata Calls for 15.5 hours (rated for and ASE cert. tech.) for lifters which requires head removal. That would equal well over $1,000 in labor by most shops labor rates...

I would say 10-12 hours if they know what they're doing. It takes me about 3 days of working on mine about 5 hours each day and in no way do I rush. So I'd say it'd take me 12 if I was on a mission so it should really take a mechanic less time.
