Autodata 11.5 hrs to remove and inspect and full exchange engine at 16.2 hrs

any decent mechanic can have that swapped over in day easy...

yeah James ur right m8 ,that sounds like crock o , to me , if it can be put back in ..in 5+ hours then why dbl time to take out ?? sounds like autodata want almost 5 hours to look at it on the deck , im gonna scratch my ichy **** tonight n see how long it takes me to learn if can rem i should wash it before goin tae bed, or i might get complex on the problem and decide i should wear surgical gloves before bed time but that will deffo be 2 days , sure as eggs is eggs it wont take that long , 1 day max with proper tools in and out .
