Timing chain tensioner guides

Anybody know where to get either just the tensioner guides or if needed the entire tensioner. Talking about the two tensioners between the two cam gears on each side. Do they normally break when taking the timing chain off they seem so cheap and crappy.

Not that they require replacement or anything

There's a guide (if you want to call it that) atop each cam chain tensioner. Sounds like you're thinking of the primary tensioner guide.
