My new Crane double roller is pretty loose also. I removed the front cover after running the motor ten minutes and was surprised to see how loose it is.
GM makes a dampner. It is just a piece of plastic that the chain rubs on to help keep the slack from bouncing. There is a picture in Handzels book pg 113. P/N 88958607 It was way over priced because it never made it into production. I bought it because it may help to keep things under control at high RPM.
