you want tensioner rebuild kits .. search around the net and you will find a racing shop that sells them , i think they are in the UK.

Also you want the threaded rod and nuts to compress the tensioners, they are not in the kit, depending on your car it is a right hand threaded rod or a left hand, I got mine off AliExpress . did once side with the zip ties and its a nightmare , don't do this , i can go into a long explanation why but just get the threaded rod and this will be a breeze.
definitely need those oil pump seals, when i took mine off they were not reusable.
Also i would suggest getting the Porsche pads. they are expensive but you will likely do this once in the life of the car.. the ones i got did not SNAP on and merely expected the tension of the chain to keep them in place, did not leave me with a good feeling. They were a beige colour instead of the red.

Get spark plug tubes , they are cheap off rock auto and come with the orings. want to make sure everything is sealed up.

i got the seals for the cam solenoids too ,, and thread sealer for when putting the cam bolts back in.
