VQ35DE Cam Sprockets

It seems that my cam sprockets are starting to wear our (tick tick noise from the valvetrain). I need to have them replaced.

What options do I have and at what prices and where?
Tried to search... OEM from courtesynissan cost around $700 for both

Any ideas/help/recommendations?

Thanks

30K

I don't know if it is because of the heat out here or something else...

Really weird and I am sure the ticking is in the valvetrain...

Well I researched this forum for "tick tick / ticking valvetrain" and ended up with the cam sprockets/chain cause.

Why did you change yours? And are you sure they are not damaged? Do not cause valvetrain ticking I mean?
