It depends on how mechanically minded you are.

i've done a few sets of rings and the zook was the easiest of the lot personally because of how light and easy it was to move around on the bench.

To give you an idea of the work involved its basically, engine out, head/intake/exhuast off, sump off, end caps off then push the pistions out the top, a quick hone and a few minutes putting the rings on, push piston back in and repeat. Then its all just reverse with a torque wrench.

Its not a small job but if you can do things like Timing belts, and most gaskets with a book beside, and you follow the instructions you can't go too wrong
