3-5 days sounds right if parts need to be sent out to a machine shop and the other work he has to do on other customers carsHow long does it take to change the head gaskets and the valves on a toyota camry?
It really depends on how busy he is. 3-5 days seems like quite a while.

1-2 should be it. You can do it in one day, but that's with full concentration on your car. 3 tops for a mechanic.
