[Roadsters] Lower Chain Tensioner Needed

I am changing both timing chains in Mr. Hyde.  For reasons I don't 
understand the upper chain has stretched to the point where it is 
hitting the Evil L after only 18,000 miles.  It is a chain manufactured 
in England, so I don't know what the quality of the metal is compared to 
an OEM chain.

In the process of putting things back together I was getting the lower 
tensioner ready to install and it squirted oil out of the face of the 
chain guide.  It's not supposed to do that.  Closer inspection found a 
small hole and crack in the face of the guide.

Does anyone have a lower timing chain tensioner for the U20 or R16 
engine?  Or just the guide alone?  If so would you please contact me off 
of the list?
