If you do what you suggest then technically you are forcing premature wear on the chain or tensioner guide or both.
The space between the ratchet splines allows for non linear wear.
This causes some rattling when cold, but expansion usually reduces the rattle when the engine heat up.
The only true way to stop the rattle is replace the chain.
Do as I suggested to check chain wear as it is a lot easier than taking the carbs off and it you remove the cam cover completely you can check the valve clearances
