D3 V8 spark plug change - how long?

Quick question for anyone who's done this - roughly how long would it take to do the job assuming all the correct tools and usual hiccups along the way?

Thanks. PAGODA

Finally got around to doing this. Took about 2.5h including faffing around trying to find the right extensions. I did remove the heat shield to get to the left hand bank; made life easier by far. PCV removed on the right was all that was required. Check the plug gaps before fitting, otherwise no problems. PAGODA

Yeah, I replaced the PCV at the same time last fall. Seemed like a smart idea considering it was original.

What plugs did you end up using if you don’t mind me asking?

HI,

Thanks for your help on this.

I ended up using the iridium plugs. Gapping was uniform (mostly - didn't want to mess for the sake of .05mm). Runs nicely on then new set. The old ones were uniformly gapped at about the same. Some sings of wear but otherwise pretty good. They seemed to be wearing well. Coils all OK. PAGODA
