Simply adding epoxy to the crank ramp will not do anything other than further decrease case volume and slightly obstruct the flow of fuel/air mixture if you go too far with it.
so... may be i have to grind off the epoxy on my 3PT crankshaft later, still gonna give it a test run to see if there any noticeable different or not... .
