Hello all, I'm picking up a ss. Chain is hitting on the cover. So bad guide or tensioner . My question is what are the best kits to get for this motor. Car only has 31,000 miles, had a tap so seller took it to chevy they had it two days and told him it was the water pump. Now seller bought car new and said it's always had the tap. So he changed the water pump still a tap. mechanic put a probe on the cover and the chain is taping the cover. So he's giving me a good deal so I want to put all new timing parts in. Where is the best place to get a kit? Thank you love this forum

Cloyes 94201SX is a great kit for the 2.0 timing chain and the Cloyes 94202S kit for the balance shafts/water pump kit, I use a replacement bolt for the front guide top bolt.
I contacted Mike from this Ecotec forum

Broken Ecotec front timing chain guide bolt? Have I got a fix for that! - General Forum - ecotecpower.com - the ecotec enthusiast site

Dorman sells similar pieces and eBay has them .

You should get a new timing cover gasket ,but I’ve reused the valve cover gasket and the timing chain cover.

And, I probably don't have to say this, don't run the engine anymore.
