This is the first time I've changed spark plugs or pull the intake, it was about 2.5 - 3 hours to pull the intake, if I had to do it again tomorrow I would probably get it done in about 45-60 minutes. I placed anti seize compound on the threads of the spark plugs and dialectic grease on the tips of the plugs. The dealer wanted $235.00 to change just the rear 3 plugs, if they did all 6 the job would have probably been around $315.00 and I'm sure they would have charged for <b>...</b>
