Could be many things. IPB, main shaft bearing, trap door bearing, primary adjuster, compensator or maybe your motor is falling apart!

Miles not necessarily causal to parts failing in twin cam power trains. Going to have to narrow down the when and why of the noise.

Your comp nut could be loose and looking at it you can't tell unless you put a wrench on it to see if it moves
