From what I can find, 'industry standard' for the timing belt is 3.7 hours. The water pump shows 4.7 hours, which I believe is because the timing belt has to come off as well for that.
However, this does NOT include replacing anything else like tensioners or pulleys.
If there is anyone on here who could give a more accurate time, it's likely to be MJ, who can probably do it with her eyes closed.
