Jeff, It's been a long time since I have done any work on a chevy inline 6.
but you must consider that the only reason the timing jumped, is due to wear.
therefore you should replace both gears and chain. the labor should be pretty
straight forward, remove whatever you need, to get at the harmonic balancer
and timing gear cover.then replace it all. first thing set the engine on top
dead center.
happy easter!
