You might have a hair longer, but applying the 1104 becomes unworkable very quickly.

You must have all your ducks in a row before you start this task. All nuts, washers, seals, etc., clean and lined up, all your tools ready, torque wrench preset, etc. Think of it like a surgical procedure.
I have a lot of detailed pic's of my build, but not of putting the case halves together, as there's no time to stop for a photo op.

I suggest you make your own P221 rod and chain holder set like I did in the pic below, saves a lot of hassle.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
