while out looking at my car trying to find out whats wrong with it, see my other thread about codes 14 & 45, i noticed my ooil pan looks dented, like one big dent 4 inches in diameter not some little roan gravel ding but big. can any one show me a photo of a stock oil pan for comparison or tell me about what kind of problems a dented oil pan could cause if any

thanks guys

 

if the dent is deep enough, it could have hit the oil pump, none the less, a dent can greatly interupt the oil flow and make the pump work harder.

Taking you have a OEM 5 quart oil pan, go to summit n buy a oil pan.

It steel and its like 24 bucks. Get it, primer it, and paint it whatever color but be sure to primer it.

your back in business.

 

this is badd *** im glad its not expensive just trouble some, like some many things

th edent isnt to deep but looks not right so when ever i get the time and place to do it i get it cone thanks for clearing up my worrys!

i rode a hyabusa today and **** that thing was fast, to belive cars can go that fast boggles me because that what i have wanted to do, make a fast car but **** i could just get a bike, what a rush, i was lughing so hard it hurt my lungs because i couldnt beath right may have been the speed

 

the oil pump pick up should be between 1/4 and 3/8 off the bottom of the pan. if the dent isn't that deep i'd suspect you have no problem. most oil pans are dented to some extent like you described.
