If you have the knowledge and the tools for the job it will take you about 12 hours as its not an easy job. Follow the instructions for loosening bolts, make sure you follow the patterns. Buy new head bolts, replace the timing chain, and make sure you get a graphite head gasket. Also, make sure you get the right head for your car, a 1993 dohc quad motor will have head #24570753 or #24573303, the second number is the replacement. If its a sohc quad it will be #24574468. Disassembly is as follows (hopefully I remember everything, changed mine last summer) Remove the coil cover, air ducts, air filter box, and battery. Drain the cooling system. Remove the motor mount on the right side, make sure you have something to brace the motor with. Remove the front cover, then remove the timing chain. When you get the gaskets for the timing chain cover, there are 2 different ones, a thick one and a thin one, make sure you get the same one as they are different. Remove the cam housing covers and cams. Remove the head bolts. Make sure everything is unplugged before removing the head. Once the head is off, transfer everything to the new head: Intake, exhaust, etc. To get at 2 of the head bolts it might be necessary to remove the timing chain housing, be careful not to break it. Good luck, if I remember anything else I will post it.
