Thank you TC. Then what would be the symptoms when the rubber is worn enough or the things that a worn damping rubber could cause in the short and long run to say so?

I really find it abusive that one should pay 13 quid for a normal cam sprocket and 200+ for a damping one if it's only that rubber differentiating them.

Also, out of curiosity, on the rear of the engine, why is it that one of the cam sprockets is also a damping one and the other one not? And does the damping one have the same "damping" mechanism as the crankshaft pulley has with the rubber layer?
