Did I read right? You had the 87 head on the 97 and the tensioner stuck out 18mm?
Then put the 97 head on the 97 with new chain and now tensioner sticks out 8mm.
How about swapping the heads again to check?
It could be that the 87 head sprocket is really worn.
Or put the new chain on the 87. If loose it might be the sprockets or guides.
Then try the old 97 chain on the 87. If its looser then the new, then it's the chain.

The engine is back together now except for the head cover and the side covers, so I'm going to leave it as is for now. I used the same camshaft and sprockets as were on before, and I reused the plastic tensioners/guides. So the variables were: 97 head reinstalled on the bike (87 had been installed by the po), new head gasket, new cam chain, new head gasket. It's still mysterious to me, but it seems ok now, so I'm going to get the bike back together and see what happens when I put it on the road?

Reply #17 - 02/01/07 at 07:24:38 I remember Anderson selling discontinued cylinders awhile back - seemed suzuki had rev'd it along the way but have no idea what was changed another possible place is the 87 cam "bearings" are worn enough to move the cam sprocket
