How deep are they? In some places as small as 1/8 inch is bad news.

Generally a dented pan is the #2 reason for lack of oil to the head/ no vtec, right behind too low on oil.

if you dented your pan that may have damaged your oil pickup in the oil pan. drain the oil. drop the pan and check the oil pick up
