the only way is if there is too much slack in your chain or you got a gear tooth broken off or badly worn. tighten up your tension to were you have no slack at all, if it still does it then i would look in the bottom end gear. I take it the cam gear is good since you have looked at it several times

if the cam chain is new and the cam gear is good...then the probably the gear on the crank
