Are oil pans easily fixable for a nissan 300zx?

Nissan believes that the Oil Pan was dented on the bottom which is keeping the Oil supply tube from distributing Oil to the motor, I guess the tube sits just a 1/4'; from the bottom of the pan and is easily crimped or stopped up, I am not mechanically inclined to fix it but does anyone know how much the cost and labor would be to fix it?Are oil pans easily fixable for a nissan 300zx?
SLOW DOWN OIL SLICK. Nissan said the oil pan was smashed in so far that the oil pick up is not supplying enough engine oil to the cams bearings? If that was the case the pan would have to be approx 1'; deformed trust me a DENTED oil pan is the least of your problems. And removing the oil pan is a hassle. the motor needs to be supported from on top while the steering rack and sub frame is lowered enough to get the pan off. there are two different size rubber strips and silicone gasket sealer that seals the pant to the block. Mega mile motors running thin motor oil will almost show no oil pressure at idle as long as the lifters and cams are not ticking you should be OK. Next oil change use 20/50 synthetic oil or 20/50 regular oil and Nissan Or Mobil 1 oil filter good luck. If I was removing the oil pan on a high mileage car I would recommend rebuilding the motor.Are oil pans easily fixable for a nissan 300zx?
That is simple and hard at the same time. drain oil. get new gasket. remove pan. With rubber mallet and steel dolley pound back into shape. remove ALL old gasket from block and pan, and re-asseble!!!! :)
