I work slowly and it took me 6.5 to pull my engine alone. I spent another 15 hours detailing out all the little junk to do in there while you do it (things like clean the engine compartment, new seals and timing belt and tensioner, new water pump and hoses, thermostat, flame trap, check wires,etc.) and another 10 hrs to put it back together. A couple of tips come to mind: A digital camera as you tear it all apart is great to utilize, a Bentley manual with all the stuff photocopied so that when you spill a pint of power steering fluid over it you haven't ruined the whole book (don't ask me why I picked up this tip) and some masking tape and a sharpie for labeling hoses and other things that get reconnected somewhere. A box of quart and a box of gallon Glad freezer bags are nice for keeping nuts and bolts from different assemblies organized and seperated from one another.
