valve gasket

well i took my car into the shop to get the rear valve gasket replaced because it was leaking. the guy first told me that it would take 4 hours. its been a couple days, because he said he needed to get one shipped, well i recieved the part earlier today, and guess what. its still not on. im just wondering how long it would take u all to replace it, and if u all think sumthin fishy is going on. its been like 3 days now.

i'm guessin it would take at least 2-3 hrs to do it by yourself...more if you havent' done anything remotely similar to it. i'm pretty sure you have to take off the intake manifold to even get to the stupid thing....bad design, but still a great engine

I did mine myself and it took about 4 hours cause I had never done one before. If he's a mechanic then it shouldnt take more than 2 hours. The guy is probably jerking you around a little.
