Started with a slightly noisy whistling/rattling in the original 2008 OEM Compensator. Could have ( SHOULD HAVE !) lived with it.
Changed to full kit , (including rotor as it's a 2008) part # 40100061. Required inner primary removal
Rebuilt and Immediately loud and "clunky" on shutdown ! ( No "clunky" before !)
2 days and 50 K's later put in part # 42200064A , spring pack and ramps etc etc , which was measurably DIFFERENT stack height to the "same parts" in the previous kit
Rebuilt again , clunk immediately gone , but whistley/chattering/rattling. Put in extra Belleville spring. Still whistley etc.
3 days later stripdown again , rubbing marks on primary from clutch or ring gear , chafing on the bottom of inner primary case from the chain.
Inner primary off AGAIN , front sprocket and inner shaft case bearing checked , turned and "waggled" all seemed OK. Extra Belleville spring removed
At this point replaced the original 2008 auto tensioner with the latest genuine Part # 39929-06B auto chain tensioner . ( JUST IN CASE !)
Now a month or so and multiple builds/rebuilds as said last post still well noisy. Maybe indeed "wearing/breaking in" noise. Does seem "noisier" than the previous tensioner
Cannot source a PEEK thrust washer immediately , be early February. When I strip it again , I will try a new primary chain at the same time as I install the PEEK thrust washer
If that has the same outcome I WILL be going down the Baker route , shimming be damned !!
