I did mine with the engine in the car in ~5.5-6 hours.

But if its your first time, and you don't have someone helping it may take closer 8.

If you are going to do it plan it on a long weekend and have a backup ride just in case.

Nope, I just used the solid sprockets ones, I did check it with a degree wheel though and it wasn't too bad.

Paid to have mine installed. By far the best Mod. The sound at idle and the performance is oustanding.
