If it's your first time and you're only doing the front valve cover, 1 hour max but seriously just go at your own speed, who cares how long it takes. It should be just the 6 bolts plus anything else you have to get out of the way. I would just buy the RockAuto gasket kit, I used the Fel-Pro kit, it fit pretty good, I think someone on TGC liked the Beck/Arnley kit better. Clean the engine surface the best you can before you put on the new gasket, the spark plug tube seals come in the kit too, go ahead and replace those too. I would only do the spark plugs if you plan on replacing all 6 and if you do all 6 plugs go ahead and replace the rear VC gasket too.
