Your first time will take approx. 10hrs. of work.
If you have 2 days you will be fine, work at a steady pace, don't rush.

Will 2 days be enough? We are using air tools.
clint, you can do it in one day no problem. The biggest problem will be getting the oil pan off. It's pretty straight forward and make sure you Loc Tite the cam bolts.
Good luck, if ya need any help lemme know.
