Compensator bolt

[sparkey]

Is the bolt left or right hand thread

[easyricer]

Standard right hand thread torqued down to 100 ft lbs. Should have red loktite on it so it'll be an SOB to get loose with out a good breaker bar and a primary lock bar.

easyricer is correct, my manuals say 80-100 ft lbs

 yep, clean threads and I use a little blue locktite, 100 lbs. Never had one come loose.

 I have been running without a compensator for years with a straight sprocket and nut, same torque, blue locktite and it has a tab lock washer on it.

Same here for me, except I used the red locktite in the stick form.

Late Evo and Twinkies are the ones that get 150+ foot pounds and it takes an act of god to get them loose! The new much smaller nut on the new Dynas scares me to death, still 150 foot pounds but it's only a 5/8 dia nut.
 I always use red Loktite on the compensator. If it's a PITA for me to take it loose later, that's ok, it WON'T come loose on my customer while he's 1000 miles from home!

My 2011 manual says tighten 100 then loosen one full turn then tighten 140 ft lbs. I thought my old 2004 did the 75 ft lbs then 45 degrees

Jeff  remember we're talking Shovels not modern day stuff.

[chrispfryd]

What about a little heat to help loosen it up? Is that a no no! 

[76shuvlinoff]

 some heat is fine, I wouldn't get it red.
