Lets add setting the rockers, since most are going to go with after market roller rockers or what about the fuel connector or electrical connector that is stuck. I just changed heads and added studs, every threaded hole had to be re-tapped - the factory bolts tore up the aluminum threads. The studs sound easy, but, that alone was a four hour job. Like Dan said, just cleaning the piston tops could take a couple of hours and you wouldn't typically t get a viper tech (no offense Tatar) to go to that length.
