Default Nervous about the rebuild

Now that I'm finally able to drive again, and with my holiday bonus coming soon, it is time for me to tackle the beast that is the engine rebuild. And it's just my luck, because winter is coming, and I have no garage, haha.

Anyways, I'm going to be purchasing a master rebuild kit with all the bells and whistles. I guess my question is this. If I'm going to go all in, is it a long process?

Granted it has been decades since I've done an engine rebuild, but back in the day I would plan as follows:
  • Saturday: Pull the engine and start the disassembly process
  • Sunday: Watch some football, drink some beer, and complete the disassembly (not necessarily in that order)
  • Monday: Take the block, crank, and head(s) to the machine shop
  • Friday: Pick the parts up from the macnine shop
  • Saturday: Reassemble the engine
  • Sunday: Watch some football, drink some beer, and install the engine
