I know that everyone say that it takes a 3-4 hours, but the springs are a bitch in my opinion so take your time on those. The cam is no problem.

Springs suck bad, getting pully back on is a bitch too.

are you at nas oceana? i used to live there at va beach. spent a year and a half at damneck for a & c school. the apt i lived in might as well have been next to the runway as loud as the planes were coming in to land. the a6's and a7's (before they were decom'ed) were the loudest.
