Contact who ever you go the oil pump from or the chain from and see if they can supply you with the hard wear. Also what pump are you running maybe some one here if you give some more info can help you out

Double roller chains always come with shims. Cloyes/Comp I know for a fact do. May require slight pump/timing cover clearancing on some cars.
