I bought a z6 swap, the oil pan is pretty dented, but other than being dented, there is nothing wrong with it.
Can I reuse it or should I buy a new one?
I ask because on a sr20det, a slight dent in the oil pan can cause not enough oil pressure resulting in a blown motor.
Thanks for the input

 

Depends where the dents are, post some pics, the only way anyone is gonna be able to tell you

 

make sure it didnt touch the crank when it got dented. You should just buy another pan just to be safe.

When I got my RB20 swap when i had a 240sx, we dropped the engine when it was on teh engine puller. We had a dent in it. Everyone said the same thing as above and we installed it as is. No oil problems. Looking back, probably wouldnt have taken much time to tap it out.

 

Hmm
Can I use the oil pan off my cx motor?
Is it the same?
Also if I want to get a new one
how much, and where can I get it for cheap
thanks
