| Ok so I have noticed my oil pressure was on the low side recently, so I hooked up a mechanical guage to check the oil pressure to make sure my gauge was reading right. When I start the car up its about 60-70psi, and after its completely warm the psi is between 11-15. When I run it at 3000rpm's it is between 30-35psi. Is this enough to damage an engine? Also I realize the low oil pressure is most likely caused by this dent posted in the links.

Plus i'm up at school and I dont have a lot of tools here. Has anyone had success with the spud gun method or drilling a hole and pulling it out then using jb weld to reseal the hole. I don't know how to weld so I can't do the welding the bolt method Just let me know your opnions and what you would do. Thanks
