IIRC, the stock 6.5 comes with the typical 2 gear and chain, timing setup. Are there any other brands of timing gear setups, similar to the Phazer dual-idler system?

Reason I ask is I may have 'scored a bonus". Doing cooling mods right now and upon removing the pump and timing cover I see a complete time gear setup. Difference is, the gear setup that I have installed does not use any idlers - that I can see. Looks to be gear-to-gear. Any ideas? I've got a phots, but no way to download it to my system right now, otherwise I'd post it.

Sorry to bust your bubble but that's probably the timing gears that drive the inj pump that you see. The timing gears and chain that drive the cam are behind that. This is the set that folks change out with the dual idler gear drive.
