I think you mean the cam gears you run chip the teeth on timing belts, because, your cams, in no way actually touch your timing belt. I still don't see how those cams everyone says snap timing belts?????

Any way, when you replaced the belt, did the ticking go away, and has it come back yet???

My car has made a strange tick for a while now, and for a long time I worried about it, but I got fed up with worying, and after replacing the entire valve train, the actual head it-self, bottom end, and timing belt, not to mention a bunch of other stuff, I've still not been able to get it to go away, so I believe it's just from the cams, and the fact that I run stainless steel valves. Don't really know. Any way, good luck selling your Toda B's
