I know, it doesn't seem possible. Thinking back on it, it may have been more like... 5 hours. Details are blurry though.

Also, step 5: Blow up one of your timing pulleys 200 miles after the swap. Remember that new timing belt you just bought? Go buy another one.

Thanks mang, a lot of credit goes to derp, I guess he's taken his motor out like 3 times, so he knew his way around it. Plus we did it as his work, hooray for a lift, engine hoist and air tools!!!
