That or you can cause hydrolocking. Hydrolocking occurs when liquid fills a cylinder on the intake stroke and, due to the incompressibility of a liquid, makes the compression stroke impossible. This, in turn, prevents the entire engine from turning, and can cause significant engine damage if one attempts to forcibly turn over or start the engine.

if you have too much oil in, the crank shaft can hit the oil and turn it into "froth" causing an oil starvation issue.
