Remove oil pan, and timing cover.

Remove VC, TCT, camshafts, and camwheel.

If makes sense to replace the guides if you are in there, but the primary parts are the chain and sprockets. Both sprockets need to be inspected for impressions.

You will need to remove the oil pump chain to replace the lower sprocket.

Can you recommend a timing chain kit and when I remove the camshafts will I need to redo the timing on the car?

I found this one but not sure if its good or not. I typically put OEM parts on the car

I know nothing about this particular part but on any moving part inside the engine I would only go OEM. I have seen too many examples of improperly hardened metals that deteriorate over time.

For 80 bucks, you can best believe it is a bunch of junk.

Get all oem components, do it right the first time.

It’s just a matter of lining up the timing marks, quite simple. Can put up a pic if needed, but there are pics all over the UTH forum.

You wont need an oil pump chain and guides, up to you.

Chain and sprockets, and two guides.

Only other possible part is the camwheel bushing. If it shows any signs of wearing, it will need to be replaced or the entire engine will suffer an oil psi loss. Camwheel bushing damage is a direct result of chain overtightening.
