That is tremendous (I did not know the filling station sold them. I would however, call them first because it seems everyone else who had them listed for sale is now noting that they are out of stock) and the price for the new thrust plate is about right. I have reused them in the past but I prefer to install a new plate on each build.
As to the question of whether you can reuse the gears, no, you shouldn't. The crank gear would be the more likely candidate given the balancer will hold it in place but the cam gear I would want new because it relies on the interference press fit to stay on the cam snout. I am sure reusing those gears has been done in the past but its not a best practice in my view, emergency maybe. Order yourself a new set. They are not that expensive compared to the cost of repairs if the re is a failure. The last thing you want is for the cam gear to start walking forward on the cam snout.
