It probably is. But if the original owner didn't change
the oil regularly or otherwise abused the engine then it
won't last that long. The only timeing sets I know that
last forever are timing gears like they make for the old
305 and 350 small block chevys.

Hi Doug,
The Chevy small blocks use a chain on plastic sprockets, and if it
jumps more than two teeth it's bend every intake. Unlike your six, where
you may turn your crank without the cam and not hit a valve.

Didn't think the I6 was a non-interference engine. :/ If it is then that's
one less thing to worry about.

Re: 93 Jeep Cherokee
Studebaker V8's use timing gears and they virtually never wear out.
