VQ Typical Rebuild Time?
There's a difference in times. The Shop Time or The Garage Worker time.
So if you have got your Z rebuilt by someone, How long did it take and who did it? The Shop or a Garage Worker?
Very curious due to I plan on getting mine rebuilt. All replies are appreciated!

This question really depends on how extensive a rebuild you need. For example, how worn are the main and rod journals? Does the crank need to be turned and oversized bearings needed? What about the top end? Are the heads in good shape or do they need to be rebuilt? New valve seats or stem seals? All these things take time and you won't know everything until you (or the shop) disassemble the engine.
Nothing typical about an engine rebuild, A pro shop might rebuild a VQ in less than four days with the right motivation ($$$), while a garage project can take years!
