The resin I use can take temps up to 450 degrees this stuff is so tough that it can be machined and I can install breathers if needed. I've incorporated a lip along the inside that pushes the gasket out against the cover. I want to do some testing before I start selling them, I'm having a small problem with bails. The covers are taller than stock covers even tall then scat covers, so I need a taller bails, any one know were I can get some made?
Thanks,
