Couple questions, Anyone have any experience with the use of JB Quik weld in an Engine oil enviroment? i know its hard and drillable/tapable, i know it will take abit of heat, but will it chemicaly break down  with engine oil?   i will also be making one for my yamaha XJ650, so i can test 2 designs and see how they hold up. but may need another   Victom err ahh volenteer for test results and un biased reporting.

No Problem. JB weld can handle any oil or fuel.
