I did the same job today with Carb & Choke Cleaner, not much needed, and a toothbrush and it came clean fast.

some cars are a pain...the 4 hours probably included getting everything out of the way to remove the valve cover in the first place, cleaning it and then hooking everything back up. This video is only one small step of this job. You also have to clean off the head and make sure you have gotten all debris out, etc. I have to take my wiper motor out, cowl, intake, and a couple other things just to access the valve covers. 4 hours for both sides is reasonable but on some cars could be less.
