Schedule for re-torqueing head bolts? And other ??
01/25/22 at 19:38:53
 
I have been looking at online data for the Savage, and I came across a chart with a routine maintenance schedule, and it recommend tightening the head bolts, and exhaust header bolts every 600 miles.  Is this correct ? It seems like that is way too often. I just noticed that it call for oil change and filter every 600 miles, and I know that's not right.         I ordered a clutch cover gasket so I will have it on hand when I check, and measure my cam chain tensioner, and I have seen the method of measuring it  in the tech forum of this sight.  It stated that 18mm, or .7" was really bad, but when I measure mine, what is considered good to go as is for another couple thousand miles?  , And at what measurement would you recommend me extending the plunger ?   Thanks

600 is the 1st change, 3500 there after

that's an overstatement.  22mm would be really bad... eminent sh!t can.

I believe I've answered your question.

about 5/8" 2x 18mm and you'll be in danger of rubbing the backs of the chain together.
