Need advice from some seasoned person. Let me give you some background first. Bought the car Oct. My plan was 1st winter do suspention/brakes/steering & rubber parts. 2nd winter engin/tran & interior 3rd winter paint. Drive it in the good weather. Engine make a lot of horse power and does not leak.
I have discovered that the oil pan has a rather large dent. See picture. Kind of like this car may have been off-roading. I have a decision to make but don't feel qualified.
Questions: Is this dent going to cause a functional problem?
Can I remove the pan and pound out the dent? Could replace. found new on the web for $150-200 plus gasket.
Does the dip stick just come down with the pan or does it separate?
What to do let it go or fix now? What other issues do I face?
