With complications it took us about 38 hours total. Of course this is with no lift, and about 6 hours of which was spent trying to get out a timing plug that stripped.

All in all, it's not that hard of a job to do if you have some mechanical knowlage. Just take your time to ensure everything is done properly. And we had a lot of fun doing it as a group of people and hanging out over the weekend.

What prompted you to change it and have you noticed and difference since doing it? any noise or sound difference? TY!
