My understanding is that the oil deflector is required to supply adequate oil to the SE compensator assembly.

Yes I did not glue in the plastic "funnel" thingy. Someone really needs to "show" me how it helps??
Adjustment is, grind out weld, reset and reweld. But really, I have a supply of stock tensioners to weld up if adjustment is needed. Seldom remember having to adjust old manual adjusters???
My "indy" has been been doing this compensator mod on a few (6-8) big motors (110+ hp) for a while with good results on small sample. He just started the welded tensioner mod. I'm the first with both.
Yes new compensator is latest and greatest A type.

i'm seeing a trend here. every year you go on a big trip. every year you have some kind of problem. the solution is simple, don't go on a trip

But, hey, you made it right!HD_Rolling, sounds like an injector problem. With the bigger motor, and I'm no expert on this, I think even with the 5.8 injectors they might cycle longer, so I think the one that is only cycling 3-4 is the one giving you problems. After all, it was running OK when they were both cycling long.
