Average time to remove and install a 5SFE Options

[Remy]

Hey all, like the title says whats the average time it took you guys to remove the 5sfe from the bay and to reinstall it back ?? The reason I'm asking is because I plan on respraying my car a different color if it doesn't take too long I might consider. Thanks

it all depends on how good you are, and how well you know where everything connects, there are a few vacume lines that can cause much frustration if you dont konw exactly how to get to them, and the pinch clamps can be a huge pain without the right tools. 3-4 hours for someone who knows what there doing, 4-8 for someone who does not but has a good idea, 8-never for someone with no exsperiance. lable well, and if your really want, take a lot of high res pics of the motor and bay before removal so you have something to look at when you get confused.
