With almost a year of experience with the #42200064A the main source of complaints being voiced and published is the added noise of this assembly. The axial roller thrust bearing creates a metal on metal action which is greatly adding to the sound resonance of the assembly. Replacing it with a specifically designed composite thrust washer for this application relieves much of this noise. It also eliminates the growing concerns of the axial rollers and related parts.
Next step is use the PEEK washer to replace the roller thrust 3 part bearing that comes in the "upgraded/latest" SE compensator kits.
POLYETHER ETHER KETONE is the base material.
Use the PEEK washer that is OEM on the M8 Compensator , part # 40100064 , this has been suggested to me already from the forums.
Has radial grooves to allow oil ingress , probably a good idea.

I will check on the progress of this updated tensioner while in there of course. At $127.25 Aussie perhaps a primary chain as well
