Own a 95 Grand Che Laredo and about to change the timing chain. Does anybody know if a 6L engine have a timing chain guide installed in it??? I'm ordering parts on line thru RockAuto and don't know if I need to order the guide or not. I like to have all my parts available before I start the replacement. Thanks in advance for any inputs.

No guide, just a snubber that slides into the cover.

Thanks very much FrankZ. I'm off to send my order to work on the timing chain r & r (rem&rep). Your input surely saved me a lot of time and work. Thanks and have a very Merry X'mas and a Happy New Year.

I'm just finishing a job like this tomorrow, had to replace the seal in timing cover while i was doing a rear main/oilpan gasket. I broke the plastic snubber as it was brittle. Quadratec had them for about $5 iirc.

My point is order it, it's cheap enough. I had to stop and order the part.. put us behind a week.
