My oil pan on my zc has a huge dent in the bottom of it. I am just curious if this would affect the enigine when i install it? I am planning on using my a6 oil pan for the zc i was just wondering if a dented oil pan will mess anything up.

 

Yes, depending on the dent. If it's really bad you could have oil supply problems. i know on the VTEC engines that dents can sometimes affect VTEC (due to lack of oil pressure). But then again, My brother's B16 has dents in the oil pan. If it's not too bad you should be ok. Good luck. Why not post pictures?

 

no digital camara or scanner

 

Well if you have it off you could try denting it back out?? I dont know where the dent is and if its accesable but its worth a shot??
