I just recieved my b18 from a private seller, everything is ok except that the oil pan is dented in. Its not really all that bad but I was wondering if it would matter as far as performance and how well my motor will stay lubricated. Does this even matter or what, should it be fine as long as I keep enough oil in the motor? Any advice/personal experiance?

-ps: I do plan to road race the car, and have seen (aftermarket) deeper oil pans to help with lubrication while continuiously taking hard turns, this is more of the situation that concerns me, thanks in advance for your help.

 

Drop the pan and make sure the pick - up is fine. Should be ok if it is.

yeah i dented mine but it was cool

 

yeah I've been told its not too bad but I'm just paranoid...ya know, thanks for the feed back hopefully its fiine.

 

POUND IT OUT
if its dented enough it could hit the pickup and you could not have very low oil pressure.
