Book is probably 6-8 hrs.
The manual show removing with manifolds attached. I think that's poor unless you've got a cherry picker. Head is going to be heavy and is managable without the manifolds. No need to remove a/c lines. They remove from the mounting bolts and push out of the way. read the Factory manual. Michael

Just wondering, how heavy is "heavy"?
The heads on an IH 6.9l diesel are about 100lbs apiece; you literally need a cherry picker to remove them from the engine

Well- I don't know the weight.
I'm not mega strong and lifted the head. R&R with the extra manifolds also changes the cg making it harder to deal with. Michael
