My September 2012 build has a compensator that may either need just a lube or...?

I get a high pitched rattle and ratcheting when the car has very little or no stress on the drive-line. Never under acceleration or engine braking, just coasting.

I gather from the previous posts that this is one of the original units and not the Centa. I don't even know if it has a zirk fitting on it to re-lube it!

I admit that I have been very vocal in saying that lugging this engine is a big no-no and I also live by those words. I have well over 17,000 miles on the car and aside from eating rear sprockets it has performed like a trouper.

Any thoughts as to which compensator is in this and just what is it that I am listening to?


What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.
