The modification you made should work fine, but you will need to loosen the pinch screw for the rod to move in. When turning in the screw you added be careful not to apply too much tension as that can cause problems. Ed

It seems to work OK and it is just snug enough to stop the ratteling.

No. You want the plunger locked into the position that keeps the correct tension on the chain. It's when the bold backs off that the noises start happening.

What is the difference in the MCII chan? I see the sprokets are different. But is the length different?
