Another comparison here to Harley, but it may be very close.
In the old days with Harley, they used a ramp type compensator very similar to what you have on your M3W's. Let's take that a bit further, Harley today uses a compensator with ramps just about like the old style. But the old bikes with their 74" to 88" size motors lasted a VERY long time.
Now that Harleys smallest Big Twin is a 103" and like mine with the 110" motors, the compensators are failing at a lot faster clip and has been a BIG problem with many riders.
So the design is okay for smaller lower torque motors, but 100" up to 120" where you guys are, is not working for Morgan or Harley.
Sad to say, I'm only repeating what's already been said here, it isn't if they fail, but when they fail.
On Harley's latest version they added a Torrington needle bearing thrust setup and they have also designed a scoop on the inside of the primary cover to collect and drip oil right back onto the bearing and ramps. So far this one is working a bit better than the last three iterations, but time will probably prove it as a failure too.
So something like the Centa with the four rubber logs being compressed back and forth with the torque pulses within the rounded slots in the inner and outer housing of the new compensator, this is probably the way to go for a long term fix.
Someone said that their Centa created a vibration. There is no way on the design to go out of balance unless one of the logs literally disintegrated and fell out. Or maybe the rubber is not forgiving enough and the vibration is actually the torque pulses coming through the driveline.
I do really wish you guy a good solution to the comp problems.
