Nope still there. I don't thin it will go away. Also the cams don't directly touch the timing belt.....I know that but the reason it strips the belt is because of the stran the cams put on the gears which touch the belt.........they indirectly strip timing belts. You can run cam gears on stock cams and they wont strip it.

 

Reason I ask, is becuase my car makes a strange ticking noise, that I described in my last post, and I got all new internals, the only thing I didn't replace was my cams, but I havn't snapped a timing belt, or even noticed any unussual ware.

I'm going to post something on the forums to see if anyone who has the same problem has ever found out what it is, because it's not just coming from the cam gear side on my car, it's just a little bit louder all togather. I'm thinking it just may be the sound that high lift cams make in a B-series motor....??????

Dunno, hope someone has figured it out......

That's what I think it is man.

 

FYI-Toda B's and C's have the same primary lobes. If you can make B's idle, you can make C's idle. If B's are breaking timing belts, C's will break the same belts even faster if all other variables are the same and you are on the VTEC lobes the same amount of time.

 

check the plastic cover behind your cam gears for that ticking noise...I had a strange somewhat faint noise comming from mind, tood a long while but eventually I traced it to the peice of plastic rubbing on my cam gear, behind the cam gear

 

That's happened to me before, but I know what that tick sounds like, and after now replacing my injectors with larger 420cc, the tick went away, so I'm assuming it was the injectors working over time.....
