Oil Light Blinking
I have a 95 LS and i recently swaped back my stock engine (for the ref) and the oil light came on when i made a quick turn at a stop. i drove it home, turn it off, and turn it back on and there was no more light?! I open up the oil cap and i saw pressure going threw the head. My only guess could be that my oil pan is hella dented.

haha my stock GS-R engine has 270K miles on it all original internals and doesn't not burn any oil.
OP are you saying your oil pan is dented, or are you just wondering if it's dented? Oil light flashing means there's not enough oil pressure. If the pan is dented, the oil pickup could be damaged or it's just not getting enough oil. If there is an oil leak and the oil level is low, then the pickup can get starved when going around a corner. If that happens for too long, you'll be looking at spun bearings or worse.

Re: (aemintgsr)
umm yeah that's probably the reason. You need to drop that oil pan and hope it hasn't damaged the oil pickup. Either way, get a new pan on there ASAP.
