2hrs. If its been some years since its has a coolant flush and replace I would do that while the pump was off, so allow a bit more time for that.

So something is seriously miss aligned but what I will need to find out . told client not do drive it

I will add that my post is based on actual experience, not someone who does not know what a VX 5.7 actually is or has never worked on one. Good luck with it.
