2003 Cooper-S Head Removal

Just wondering if anyone has pulled the head out? and if so how much time does it take for removal? I have a burnt valve and am going to send it out, but Im going to do the head removal and install of the re-done one myself. I am a fairly proficient mechanic and have a Bentley manual for guidance. Is there any other tricks specific to this car that I should know about?

Thanks.. The project starts tomorrow night!!

A few hours and no problem if you have the Bentley manual and cam gear locking tool.
