what i do mean is if anyone tells you they can do it in less then 2-3 hours then do not pick that person cause if your rushing that fast then its going to have mistakes..it takes 45mins just to remove everything ie,wireing,intakemanifold,powersteering pump/bracket,drain the coolent and so forth,then makeing sure everything is wrapped and kept clean,then reinstalling and retiming

about an hour and a half because you gotta pull the cams on the dohc's. a single cam can be done in less time...assuming you have done it several times and know exactly what needs to be done. if you've never done it before its gonna take several hours because your not gonna know each and every bolt that has to come out. plus your prolly not experianced with setting the timing and removing the old gasket material.
