Motor size not horsepower doesn't make the compensator need additional shimming. Measure as Joe's post shows to bring the compensator in spec.


My experience was a lumpy idle and low rpm pulling (sneaking around) with high compression aggravated mine.   There also was an initial seating of the components I felt at the first install by the way the knock became more distinguishable.  I added shims one at a time. and am pleased with the results.

But what I'm saying is, out of spec. If the spring depth on a 103 inch is out of spec, on its depth, then it's also out of spec. on a 124 inch. The compensatore can't tell what it's hooked to.

Joe's process should be applied to any Twin Cam when in the primary for work.

I am agreeing with you totally.  I added my experience to flesh out your response..  How you ride it may also contribute to a rattle even when in the spec zone no matter what size the engine is.
