2.7 long block tear down time?

Hi
Can anybody tell me how long it would take to tear down an engine?

What kind of tear down? If you are talking cleaning and bagging everything for a rebuild, you could double the times below. If you are just taking about tearing crap apart and having everything lying in pieces on the garage floor then probably split the times in half. A good dismantler with the right tools and just leaving the parts were they may fall could get it apart real fast.
