Too much oil?

The crank hits the oil and turns the oil in the sump into foam. The oil pump then cannot maintain oil pressure and the bearings run dry, you get metal

The oil pump then cannot maintain oil pressure and the bearings run dry, you get metal to metal contact between crank and bearings and life quickly turns to cr4p and the engine dies, if you have overfilled the sump to the point where crank/rodbolts hit the surface of the oil. Is "not a good thing" JARblue, Rusty, madwi and 1 others like this.
