I can have the engine out of the frame in about half an hour, but the first time I did it took me about two to three hours. Go slow and keep the Clymers/Service manual open in front of you the entire time no matter how good of a mechanic you are.
Once you do get the engine out, definitely inspect the case for that peace of broken piston.
