Can anybody tell me what the cam chain tensioner mod is?  
I just picked up a Savage that's in need of some attention, and one problem is a top end rattle - I'm guessing there's a problem in the chain area.  Not stripped her yet.

Go to the market place. It's the third post down. Very good description.

Thanks for the directions guys - it is a good article.  as it happens my tensioner was okay, but the cam and followers are toast - I'll open a fresh thread so as not to hijack this one.
