The remaining teeth are unloaded and are simply accommodating the chain for the ride in a semicircle.
So, with a chain that has not worn excessively, the sprockets will probably last forever.

And vice versa???And what if one of the sprockets has already worn and left in there(just sharpened teeth,no damaged though).I guess the pitch of the sprocket doesn`t correspond to the pitch of a newly installed chain anymore? And it`s not the cam or crank one,it`s the injection timing device,number 142 on the pic:

I don`t want to let anyone mess with it
...or maybe it`s not that difficult to R&R...
