I hit my oil pan pretty good this weekend, put a good sized dent in it, but It was not punctured.
But I'm assuming that a good portion of the jeep's weight was resting on the oilpan for at least a moment or two. Is there anything that I should check out? If it's not leaking or anything, then I assume there is no real reason to replace the oilpan? There will be less oil capacity, I'll find out about how much less when I change the oil this afternoon.
I'm guessing that the motormounts might be something to give a real good look at, make sure there aren't any cracks or anything? I didn't notice anything different about the jeep (noises and so on), so I'm assuming that everything is ok. I'm thinking that I'll just put a jack on the oil pan, and raise it upa bit, and then check out the motor mounts to see if there are any cracks. What else should I be checking, if anything? I just want to make sure that I didn't do damage elsewhere.
Under skids are high on the list, haha!
