So I'm installing an SE Compensator but the dealer says the apoxy for gluing the oil deflector is backordered.Not to mention they want $60 for it.Has anyone used anything else with any success?
I did try searching the forum but could find nothing related.

 

Never done it but would think that any epoxy rated for exposure to oil and high heat would work; maybe the epoxy used for engine block repairs

 

Thanks.I don't need to do it right now but kinda wanted to do it before it gets cold out.No heat in the garage and I want it ready to go in the spring.

 

Use JB weld.. The grey stuff.. The only advantage of the HD stuff is that it cures quickly.. Cleanliness is very important here.. Let it the JB cure overnight before install. Good to have temps above 70F. The warmer it is the faster it cures.

Add:

Too cold? Take it into the house..

 

I've used JB Weld several times over the years ... Twice on engine cases where the rear chain had broken and busted the case on two different friends 750 Hondas ... It did the trick and we had no problems ... Follow Max's recommendations

 

+1 JB Weld. I had used it many times w/o any problems.

 

AGREE⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ cleanliness is very important. Where the oil drip tray goes onto the inside of the case, I roughed it up a little bit with sandpaper before I used JB weld.
Make sure you use enough of the JB weld, and then, when you set the oil drip tray in place, try and use some kind of a clamp. I used a woodworking clamp on mine to hold it in place lightly for 24 hours. Worked great.

 

JB weld Marine.... It's what I used.. No Issues...

 

Picked some up.Should work.

 

JB Weld ignores oil- I used it to fix a hole in an old Bronco's oil pan. Good plan.
