82765, Oil pan dent.
Posted by powellds, Nov-16-04 08:49 AM
Anyone know where I can get a stock oil pan? Also, does anyone make an aftermarket oil pan besides a custom one from Moroso? My pan kinda has a dent in it and is making me a little nervous.

I had the official WRC oil pan on my 2GNT for the longest time and didn't worry about it. Every once in awhile you'll find a stocker in the For Sale section....other then that...Satan or a salvage yard.

Why? The pickup has protrusions on the bottom of it to prevent it from laying flat on the bottom of that pan. if it makes you that nervous, drop the pan and hammer the dent back out. Cheaper than paying $100 for a new pan from Satan.

In the event that you don't want to hammer it out, which I think is your best bet, I have one from a neon if it'll work?

Man, dont buy another, just bang it out, thats what I did. Just pull it off and get like a 2X2 piece of lumber and round off the corners. Then get a mallet and have at it. I dented the whole bottom of mine, then I wised up, got rid of the coilovers and bought some Eibachs. This is how mine turned out.

apparently it's bad to have a dent? I would think it would have no effect on the car..

Just pound the dent out like mentioned above. I've done it to two pans without issue.

yes I suggest just taking it off and pounding it out, while your at it you can install a crank scraper too hehe. You might want to install a flex section on that downpipe since its still in pieces.
