Im looking for some advice on how to make the part below and mould?

It is a cam chain sprocket cover on a small 160cc engine, Dead flat and 8mm thick..

Is this even possible with the heat/oil??

But, I am right in thinking the cover is in two parts? ..  If thats the case I would get some filleting wax and round off the outside parts (where the metal meets the black material)

Then make a flange /base board.. ( see the EC tutorial with the "epoxy mouldmaking kit" )   https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/epoxy-mould-making-starter-kit

Then wax/ release coat the whole ting thoroughly and make a mould from it .
