Oh, yes, yes it can in two ways, but only if it's so full that the crankshaft slaps the oil.
- As the crankshaft slaps the oil it pushes air into it making air bubbles which break apart and form smaller bubbles as they pass through the oil pump. The oil pump can, potentially, fail to pump and in effect, the engine with too much oil in it doesn't have any oil allowing the engine to weld itself into a paperweight. :/ Provided the pump does function, it pumps oil foam instead of liquid oil. The foam has vastly inferior lubricating ability and metal-to-metal friction and grinding can occur. Also, hydraulic lifters can collapse causing wear. Hydraulic timing actuators and chain/belt tensioners can fail allowing the engine to operate out of time and possibly even having pistons smash into valves which is undesirable.
- At high engine RPMs the crankshaft can smack into the oil hard enough to snap. This makes a lot of noise and important pieces of the engine can be ejected. This can be dangerous and expensive but also entertaining, if you're the sort who likes big boom noises and clouds of smoke. If you're really lucky the car can turn into a bright yellow blob of fire with lots and lots of stinky black smoke.

Can a bad EGR valve cause the engine to backfire?
It can cause massive Engine failure and blow up the whole car, so be careful.
What damages if the car overheats?
It can cause the head gaskets to blow. This must be repaired before driving again. If really overheated, you can blow your engine. This would need replacing.
Why would a car have too much voltage and cause the engine control fuse to blow?
Have the alterntor and voltage regulator checked.
Can lacquer thinner be used in a car engine if it is mixed with gasoline?
no it will blow upMy VersionLacquer thinner will damage: Fuel linesFuel PumpInjectorsAnd cause major damage to the inside of the engine
Why does your engine fan stays on?
to blow out the smoke the car produced
What do you do if you have too much oil in your engine?
If you overfilled your oil on accident do NOT drive the car. Either drain some oil yourself or have the car towed to a mechanic and have them drain some oil for you. If you do drive the car even with the oil overfilled by as little as by quarter quart the oil will foam up and do a LOT of damage including blow seals ruin cylinders ruin valvetrain ruin oil pump ruin pistons ruin rings ruin cylinder head ruin valve guides and more. At that point it would be cheaper to buy a whole new or rebuilt engine then to fix the old one.
Why is there froth in your car's engine oil?
It could be that it was overfilled, or it could be that there is a crack in the head gasket that is allowing coolant to enter the oil pan. Or it could simply be condensation in the engine which usually occurs if the car does too many short journeys.
Does a turbo make your car faster?
A turbo can make your car faster by increasing the amount of air that the engine can have inside the cylinders. A turbo alone will not make a car faster, you will need to adjust the amount of fuel that is injected into the engine as if you add too much air it will cause your engine to lean out and blow up.
What happens if you drive your car while its overheating?
In brief, you will blow the engine.
If the oil pump is bad is your car will it blow your engine up?
YES
What is purpose of the engine oil?
it is so that your car doesn't blow up
What damage can happen when revving a car?
You could blow your engine up.
