Oil pickups are generally set at 1/4"-3/8" off the pan. It's likely that the pan is up against the pickup, and even if it has oil pressure, the volume may not be there. I would pull the dent and not start it. Also, it may have loosened the pickup as mentioned earlier.
Good luck! Hopefully it turns out OK.
