    electrical reset

    I forgot to reply but my dad removed the spark plugs and there was some oil in all of the cylinders and one cylinder with alot of oil. He turned the engine till oil stopped visibly coming out and then put the plugs back and it started up. Smoked alot for awhile and now appears to be fine. Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for the replys. Hydrolocking seems very possible as I could still see a decent amount of oil in the intake manifold I just didnt think about it being a possibility for some reason. I will let you all know how it goes.

    This happened to my dads car. I wasnt there when the initial overfill happened but this is what was described to me. He drained the oil for an oilchange but didnt know there was a drain plug for the oil tank as well as the crank case. He then put oil in untill it was completely topped off (as there was still oil in the tank) and then started the car. Im told it started fine then but then realising the car was overfilled the oil change was reattempted and the same thing happened as the oil tank never got drained but this time when starting the car it wouldnt start. This is when he told me about the problem and I went over and re did the oil change correctly (both drain plugs and filter) and then put in 8 quarts of oil. I took off the intake and cleaned out all the oil I could which I guess shot out when it was started the first time. Reassembled everything and turned the key. The starter didnt attempt to turn the engine over and all that happened some clicking noise. It seemed like the battery was dead (it never had any previous problems) so I tried jumping it to no avail. Plugged the battery into a charger and it sat for a day charging and it still wont crank. Cliffs: Engine was overfilled and started/ran. Second time it was started while overfilled it wouldnt turn over. Drained all oil and filled with 8 quarts and it now sounds like it has a dead battery but battery is charged and checks out fine.

    I over fill my gt3 with oil and now the car will not allow the starter to turn the engine over. Any ideas as to what to do?
