anybody recommend good epoxy with high resistence to heat,crack,chip,bend,etc for use to fill my oil pump hole?

First use a oil pump plug..then you can epoxy or make a bracket to secure it there..You need to take the space up that the oil pump took up.

got it,thanks,but I looking for something else,if you see the aluminum bushing I make...

that the way I hold the oil plug now

thanks redeft performance,the crank delivered monday,hope can install it with the malossi bearings soon

hi AMS. you may have to make a custom plug?
steel epoxy may brake or fragment inside the motor?
not good with the new malossi crank.
I like your thinking tho. :

nice cant wait to see more

don't worry,like "all state insurance" all parts are in good hands,

hi,good link thanks,but still dosnt work for me,
on other word I want the mix run freely on the crank case without any detours and + get more bottom comp

I am also a KX500 rider, and the race guys stuff the crankcase ( to reduce volume) with Devcon. Apparently it moves peak torque up the RPM scale. They surround the crank area and machine it out, I forgot what clearance they use, but it's only a few thousandths to allow for expansion and vibration. The trail riders do the opposite and add reed block spacers to increase crankcase volume and lower peak torque rpm.
I have never used Devcon, but it has been around for years.
