I am a pretty good mec as well, been working on heavy equipment most of my life. It looks to me that a LIM would take me around 3-4 hours. I am meticulous when it comes to engine work like most any other bonnie freak. take a tooth brush and some seafoam to the valley then get everything as clean as posible before reassembly, ok it would take me 5-6 hours I have never done my LIM so time frame is a guess based on it takes me around 10 minutes to remove TB and fuel rail and vacc lines. Other reason for not porting it myself.... No Dremel! :(

Go buy a dremel from Walmart..that is not an excuse..lol

No kidding, I could have done my TB and a few other small things by now.
