John (Jackal), Joel (SoundXTreme) and I did it in his garage in a little over a day. It woulda been shorter but burr and smoke breaks got in the way. Its really not terribly complicated. Youll need to a torque wrench, and make sure the rods get replaced right. LOL. Theres a reall good write up, with perty pictures, on GAGT i believe.

get a good torque wrench. the felpro head gasket kit. I would replace the chain and tensioner at the same time. You may need to get them from gm part direct or dealer. Also if you have not replaced the water pump i would do that as well. use the correct procedure for removing the ccam towers and putting them back on.
I did mine and it wasn't bad but i did mine in a couple months being i was polishing and porting the head and other items

It would be a really good idea to have the head checked.... some say that the LD9 is notorious for having the head warp, etc...
And be prepared to check the timing chain and tensioner while it is apart. Replacing the water pump is another great idea, like Oldsman said previous.

That's the old Q4, before they put decent gaskets in them.
