Didn’t you buy the whole set with the timing gears?
Edit: I’m pretty sure this is the set I bought. I know it was the hex-a-just set and single roller. The pic in this is wrong, it shows a double roller.https://www.texas-speed.com/p-3926-...timing-set-includes-z06-chain-3-bolt-cam.aspx

Honestly, I was going to, but I didn't want him messing with anything more then what was needed. I could always do it later on. I figured it was a good chain, hopefully better then oe. Plus I didn't know if it was a 2 or 3 bolt cam in there already.

He has to put a gear on the cam anyway so all he would need to do is the crank gear. 3 bolt cam. But you should be ok reusing the gears. Were they replaced last time?

On the motor in there now? Don't think so. I know the chain was.
This is what was originally done to the 1st 6.0.

Well then I would have gone with the whole set since you’re in there. You don’t need a sloppy timing set. You should ask your buddy for his recommendation on this. How many miles on this engine that’s going in?

That’s pretty low mileage so you should be ok but ask him for his opinion anyway. I would have done a whole new set with gears and chain since you’re there but it’s up to you.
