I am tempted to say much more, but I will restrain myself and say only don't do that.

Having fluid at atmospheric pressure on one side of a seal does not constitute a "strain" on a seal. Check out any engineering handbook about seals.

Your unit is worn out; the seals are shot and not sealing. The piston may or may not have pits on it. There is dirt that can hold the compensator open. Have someone rebuild it.

Uninformed speculations about modifications to a safety item may lead someone else to do something that will lead to tragedy.
