Just a heads up, as I see you are going full bore I suspect you will replace them, but I didnt see them on a parts list so I figured I'd mention them.

Well the stock ones are completey plastic and that was a common problem of timing chain driven nissans of this era. The engine kit I ordered from the machine shop comes with an all metal timing chain/guide set. Friday I was supposed to pick up my shortblock, but I was sick again...this tuesday I should be able to start slamming it together
