Should be able to do in a couple of hours provided you don,t have grief with the hidden bolt !!!
Check out the maintenance guide as ther is exact details how to do it.
Don,t forget to replace the "0" ring seals on the coolant transfer pipe.
Be warned ther is wquite a lot to strip out first so if you need to do other work in that area worth combining them..oil cooler/plugs/leads/cam cover gaskets/breathers.
Best of luck with it.
