1.4 headgasket repair time?
#5
Depends if the head has to go to a machine shop for checking/skimming. You'll be looking at a few days turnaround if so.

Otherwise, if you've everything to hand and have done it before, literally a couple of hours. Loads of space on the TU 306s to work in.

Just make sure you get a decent HG (Payen etc). The cheaper ones don't have the red sealer on both sides, and you'll very quickly have oil coming from the front corner of the block.
