A Delta Airlines Boeing 767-300, registration N195DN performing flight DL-209 from San Francisco,CA (USA) to Tokyo Narita (Japan) with 209 people on board, had just reached cruise level 330 about 140nm northnorthwest of San Francisco when the crew requested to return to San Francisco due a #2 engine (PW4060, right hand) compressor stall, they did not request priority or need assistance. During the return the crew dumped fuel, requested runway 28R and a holding near San Francisco to complete the fuel dump.
