Pop the pan off and take it to a machinist or something. There's a good chance you could just get it banged out for a few bucks. My pan was *****in' CRATERED, I didn't think it could be banged out without it cracking. I was wrong; cost me $15 :)

Really nice mine isn't that bad i think just where the oil bung is, is dented in and the whole bottom of the pan looks like someone sat on it Its just one big dent

But hopefully the oil pickup isnt damaged

Mine has the drain plug dented in, and a few other big dents, but I pulled it off and check it all out. It isn't hurting anything so I just left it so I woulnd't have a chance of messing it up while trying to take out the dents.

the rb's pickup doesnt suck just off of the bottom like the sr20, so its small dents and such aren't really a problem like the sr20's... but if its major it needs to be fixed, big dent = less oil capacity...

Yeah, as you can kind of see here, there is lots of room between the important stuff and the lower part of the oil pan..
