engine noise

Thanks for all of the input ,If my compensator is the cause of the noise how do I go about checking it,does it feel loose,do i put a dial indactor on it what is the correct procedure for checking this?
Thanks

I pulled the cover from my primary last night to inspect chain tension and the chain had between a 1/2" and 5/8" slack while cold so i dont think thats my problem.I felt around in the primary as much as possible and didnt find any type of contamination such as metal shavings.I guess the next step is to pull the primary cover off and check compensator nut.Thanks for the help
