I bought a Savage a few years ago and am finally getting around to working on it.  I pulled the clutch cover and was pleasantly surprised to see a Verslavy.  It seems quite extended so I am wondering if the cam chain is too stretched. Opinions?

It's in the middle of the slot so ride like you stole it.

The chain headed up ain't even hitting the chain headed down. You're good!

I've read every post in this thread and don't see it.  I'm planning on putting in my new Verslavy tomorrow.  Is there a torque spec for the 10mm bolt that is used on the plunger?

The torque shown in the table listed is 6-8.5 ft/lbs.  It is a low torque and not all that possible to achieve if you only have a 150 ft/lb torque wrench.

I am selling my 2001 Savage with 9933 miles on it, and a buyer might be interested in doing the Verslavy cam tensioner mod.  Are they still available by Verslagen1, and if so, what is the charge? I live in the Los Angeles area. Do we have to send him the old one?

Interesting that Suzuki has never issued a recall or updated the design on this part, if it only lasts 10k miles.

In the right hands, 30k+ miles is not unheard of.

However, beginners typically do short miles so low miles are expected.

At any rate, everyone should check their cam chain every 10k miles.
