does anyone know of a place where i can order this tensioner spring for the guide rail on the oil pump or the c-clip that retains the rail on the shaft? i call my local dealer that is around thecorner from my house and they say they can't get it.

the c-clip flew across my garage and is mia... the spring has alot of wear on it like parts are ground out of it...

You should be able to get all the parts from the dealer.

With that said you can try a variety pack from NAPA for the clips. You can also call the 800 number at the top of the page where you can order the spring. I have seen them wear to just about in half.
