What happens when the oil pump is overfilled?

Tester July 5, 2016, 11:55pm #2 If the oil is overfilled to the point where the rotating crankshaft comes in contact with oil, the crankshaft will aeriate the oil as it rotates. When oil is aeriated with air the oil pump can no longer pump oil throughout the engine so the engine is starved of oil and the oil pressure falls off.

Why is there no oil pressure in an overfilled crankcase?

Since foam is 99% air, and since the oil pump is only designed to pump liquid, there of course will be no oil pressure at times, & when the oil that’s not foamed up goes into the oil pump, you will have OK pressure. This is why a grossly overfilled crankcase won’t ruin the engine right away.
