It took me about +/- 5hrs moving at a slow pace. That includes jacking up the car, draining/refilling oil, re-reading the directions about 50 times, trying different tools, and a few interrupting phone calls. Its probably a 2hr job for a pro.


Edit:
I wanted to add that it is recommended to check cam deviation with durametric before and after the tensioners are installed to verify the chains didnt jump timing. I don't have durametric and my engine has 185k on it so I didn't do that. I'm taking the 'ignorance is bliss' approach. Lol.
