Spec R

keep in mind the oil light turns on when oil pressure drops below 5-10psi. if its already on, you've already done the damage basically.

a healthy engine idles with 25 psi and over 3000rpm goes over 75psi. if something is consistently causing the light to flicker, theres already some major damage.

i wouldnt say the bent valve itself is causing the light to go on, but specifically what event bent the valve in the first place brings forth the most suspicion.

sorry for the bad news...but maybe by chance its something little? :dunno: all my experience points otherwise.
