Use of the stock plunger might have some advantage , if rotated 180 degrees, the flat and teeth used for the paw could be used to help lube the plunger and the spring , simply by drilling one hole as far back in the top of the body as possible , allowing the oil to fill that area and also run downhill over the paw teeth which might distribute oil to each side of the plunger . oil in the rear of the body might lube the spring(and the need for the rod) and even help dampen movement . the toothed flat and/or the hole would prevent any chance of hydraulic lock . I don't favor adding a rod to the back of the plunger . If it's too short ,it does nothing ,If too long it will cause chain stretch ,until it is too short . How do you really determine proper length ? Doesn't the force that the chain places against the guide increase at higher speeds, and decrease at lower speeds? Allowing for the change in cylinder and head height as the motor comes up to operating temperature may not be enough . In any event I'd remove the rod and allow the plunger to be free floating .
