1st time I've noticed this. The nut that holds the compensator assembly on my pan bottoms out before the spring cover tightens up against the spring. Does this indicate a spring that has compressed with use over time? Or is it that the compensator assembly is worn? Is there any way to check for this wear, or does anyone know the standard length of a new compsensator sprocket spring? Just as an update, I measured the length of the spring, and it is 2.255".

Yeah, that helps. It means my spring has compressed about a quarter of an inch over the years. I was told on another site that the cover was deleted because it did used to loosen up with age, and cause quite a racket, prompting owners to remove and discard the cover.Comment
