I guess it would be the "Compensator Cover with Springs"

Actually I should have said detonation which is what I had. Sounded like a box of loose bolts under load on hard acceleration or wide open throttle in 5th & 6th gear. Came from the top left side too.

Did you pull the inner primary to remove the compensator? If I remember my springs were loose too when I replaced it with the SE comp.
