My 5sfe head is shot I currently have 188,+++ on my engine so I am getting another 5sfe with about 85,000 to replace it. I I have about as much time as I have millions of $ none basically. So my point is I want to estimate how much time it would take for me to do it, compared to dropping it off to a shop. My wife thinks it would be better for me to do it to save money along with painting crap in the house installing this an that building a patio and working at my regular job. Then she says well sell it an get a new care thats when we had a falling out lol.

My first time I did an engine swap all by myself, it took me 6 hours to take the engine out of the car, and then another 12 hours getting the new engine all back in again.
If a new car is on the cards..... maybe a new Nissan GTR?
