Took me all day to do it. change the plugs while your at it. You don't have to take the motor out. The service manual will give you some guidance.

I had to do it earlier this year. its a pain in the ass but it can be done easily if you have done it before. be careful how much torque you put on those cover bolts. i snapped one of them off accidentally, and had to get that cam cover thing re-threaded so that the cover would have a secure fit. just take your time. thats my advice.
