quick question. how much clearance is there between the oil pickup and the bottom of the oil pan?

the reason i am asking is because i just finished dropping the tranny on one of our gsr's and i dented the oil pan when supporting the engine with a jack and piece of wood. The dent isnt too deep maybe ~.25" maybe a little more. Should i be worrying? I havent put it back together yet so if i absolutely need to pull the pan off and straighten it out i can.

 

btw: the dent is at the lowed part of the pan right in front of the drain plug..im guessing its at the oil pickup location

its not an issue but since you can fix it y not do it?
