So I am loading up on all the OEM parts I need to replace all the old timing parts from my old engine. Which is a 91 KA24DE.

I am going through courtesyparts.com, and I am looking at the Chain guide, on the slack side, as they say. Part listed as 13086. When you look at their purchase page, they have two for SOHC, and one for DOHC. The DOHC one is listed as the most expencive. However, they all have the same part number: 13086

Am I mistaken here, or are these all the same parts, but different prices? My god, if I can pay 30 dollars for one insted of 77 dollars, that'd be awesome! Does anyone know of the SOHC and DOHC chain guides on the slack side are the same?

I don't think they are the same, but I'd wait for someone else to chime in on this.

Personally I wouldn't use anything other than OEM nissan parts for the timing chain assembly.
