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??

First off... do you know what the back side looks like?   The "thickness" seems to me to be a different part then the metal cover?  some of the engines I've seen with cam-chain covers use a fibre part against the engine block + a thin metal cover on top of that, usually the "fibre" part has cutouts to leave room for the internal moving parts..

You really need to remove the cover and take a closer look at it .. you may well have a more complex part than just a flat  8 mm thick cover ..

I have managed to make quite nice cosmetic parts (End caps for Bike exhausts + exhaust shields) with the EC high temp resin ..

It need a "stepped" postcure to reach the 180 degree Tg ..  this can be found on the sheets for the EC resin.

On the back side of the part it has a 1mm recess, but i can get away with not needing that on the carbon part
