Question Skipped timing, getting an idea of who has parts

Hello all,
My front engine seals went and my motor suffered a bad blow.
I paid off some bills and want to have my car running soon so I'm sourcing parts.

I know we have wonderful vendors here but if I can save a buck by buying from a private seller I will.

I already have...
head gasket set
water pump kit
front engine seals
timing belt
timing belt guide (update kit)
thermostat


Reading this list from my local shop it says i now need.

32mm roller
timing belt tensioner
balance shaft belt
balance shaft roller
nut for timing belt guide x2
Cylinder head nut
Cylinder head washer
and possibly some valves
(not sure which ones yet)

If you have any of these parts please let me know.

buy the rollers and belts new or you'll be doing this over again, I have some valves from a extra head, I assume it's a NA 8V motor.

Why would you need to replace the timing belt guide?... It is simply a piece of metal that is attached to the water pump. Unless of course you are upgrading to the new style water pump from the old, in which case it should have come with/from the same place as the new water pump.
Otherwise, it and the cylinder head nuts/washers are reuseable.
Replace all tensioners and rollers with new unless you want this to happen again.
Paragon is one of the best places for new parts, very frequently they are the cheapest place, and their customer service is always the best.

Its an updated pump and yes the guide comes with it. Yay, one more thing off my list. Thanks for pointing it out.

I don't think Eurosport is priced that bad. They just might forget something, or say they did something that they didn't.

I might have to look them up. I'm running out of places to take my damn cars, LOL.

How does that make them "not that bad"?
