Just read a couple of articles on this, interesting, but not sure conclusive in this case. One result of too much oil is that you wind up with bearings/crankshaft sitting in oil, creating excess drag, thus reducing performance. However, all those moving parts sitting directly in the oil churn it up and cause it to foam. This reduces lubricating quality, actually decreases oil pressure, with resulting carnage. Horror stories of broken con rods, holed cases, spark plugs blown out etc! Surprised nothing blew out of the breather pipe tho'.
