[QUOTE="chaswin, post: 1163067, member: 380"] One important consideration is that if far too much oil is put into the engine a situation can develop where the crankshaft throws go through the oil as the crankshaft turns. This can lead to frothing of the oil where there are more bubbles than oil. Eventually the oil pump will have only air to pump and oil will no longer circulate to the bearings which will overheat and seize. This happened to the BMC 1800 "Land Crab" when it was first released, due to the incorrect calibration of the dip stick. [/QUOTE]
