You would also have to change your tensioner and chain guide to the new design if you don't want to keep hearing the rattle.

Or if you have more time on your hands and strapped for cash again, there is an o-ring inside the old style tensioner if you want the noise to go away. Problem is finding the right size o-ring. I haven't tried this method yet but searched the org with a few members with success of this method. Hope this helps.
