Message	Mind you, I did have the replacement injectors already pre-installed in a fuel rail. So maybe add an extra hour or two for removing and replacing the injectors from the fuel rail. Plus factor in that it was my first big job on any car and if I was to do it again, I could probably do it in less time.
