I took mine off, replaced the head gasket, and put the head on in under 2 hours once.. BUT I did not completely remove the head (left the exhaust manifold connected). I just lifted the head high enough to slip the head gasket in...

I have a warranty on an engine that needs to have the head removed and inspected. Supplier is willing to pay reasonable labor costs for a garage to do the work. They are stating reasonable hrs as 1.5 hrs removal, the same to replace, total 3hrs!!! This engine is in a car, w/ AC. This seems pretty quick to me...I haven't done this previous though.... Whaddaya think? BS.......?
