What's the average time for replacing a head gasket? I need to replace one but I will be replacing both. How much time should it take?

Best time to change the heads gaskets are when they leak. I found that if you spray the new head gaskets with copper seal they last a lot longer.

i guess it really depends how many times you've done it and how "stock" your engine is. on an engine with stock wiring harness and no recent experience doing it i would say at least an afternoon 12-5.
