Compensatory noise FXRS

I was having a squealing noise in my primary when I let the clutch out hard! I know that sound from previous compensator cover being worn out, nut loose etc.Well ,the comopensator nut was not loose and the cover with the spring plates in it was not loose enough to rattle . So , I know some old time wrench guys will put a washer under the compensator nut to get more compression on the spring plates and lessen any slippage. I found a nice machine bushing about 1 1/2 mm thick to put under the nut. I cleaned threads good ,put some blue lock tite on,( never needed red) , and torqued to 150 ft # . I tried Lucas 20 w 50 motorcycle oil ,for all 3 holes it says. Refilled primary and it is hooking up nice now when ya let the clutch out ,no squeal, shifting good etc.
