Timing Gear swap

[Marine05]

I saw on Autozones website that they have direct gear drive timing sets that get rid of the timing chain. Does anyone have this, thought about going to it, or know anybody who had done this and how reliable is it? Its only 72 bucks and was wandering if it gave the whining sound like it does on the v8.

Good luck with getting them, I triedordering them from NAPA and they are not available at all. I don't think they ever made them for the 250 or 200 at all. I have never seen one anyway.

I suspect that someone screwed up and thinks the 300 set fits the 200's.
The 300's are gear drive.
