Default Noise from Cam gears

I coudl be mistaken but this morning I hard a strange rattle/jingling noise from the engine. Opened the hood and it sounds as if the cam gears have a jingle to the, They are Toda Gen 1 Cam gears. This strated after I adjusted them this weekend.

I am more than positive all 4 bolts on each gear are tight. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might eb the problem? Could the timing belt need more tnesion?

check to see if the timing belt is rubbing that plastic trim under the gears. I noticed mine did the same, and there was frequent black residue on the gears and misc other things.... might not be much help, but thats what I saw on mine. Goodluck Trey

I don't have experience w/those, but I have experienced similar noises from other cam gear sets before. Nothing ever really happened w/them though. Just double check everything is torqued right and that the belt is on a clear path. You'll know if they're loose, trust me...your car will tell you.
