Where to buy an idler - Sylvanite - 07-19-2014

I'm planning on replacing my timing belt (water pump, etc.), and I'm having trouble finding a kit with an idler. I don't know that anything's wrong with mine, but I gather it's good practice to replace them at the same time. But I can't find one. I looked on rockauto.com and several other sites and the kits don't seem to include one.

gates sells it, with idler , on discount.
finding a seperate, idler is harder and $$$$

The description on the page says (1 Belt, 1 Tensioner, 0 Idlers). Am I missing something?

that is correct this engine does not have an idler, as many,do,, the page is boiler plate. generic form. so shows 0 there.

and make sure the bottom clog is set to 94/ft/lbs. no less.
