Make sure you have all of your replacement parts first, head gasket, valve cover gasket, exhaust/intake manifold gasket, replace your head bolts, make sure you have all of the washers for the head bolts.
check your heads first before you just replace the gasket, take it to a machine shop, if it's warp maybe they can shave it, if not good luck finding another head, i know marketplayer was selling a head of a 91-up s13 if you needed one.
a chilton or haynes mannual would also be handy to.
maybe you could do it in 5hrs, if you have all your parts prepped all ready, you know how a 1hr job turns into a 3 hr job cause you have to go the parts store.
