Depends on what you mean by too much. If you overfilled it by say 1 pint then more than likely no damage will be done. Simply drain out the excess. If, however you overfilled it by more than that then serious damage can occur. The crankshaft can make contact with the excess oil and whip it into a froth. This froth of oil mixed with air is a poor lubricant and will provide far less protection from wear than 100% oil. Drain out the excess immediately.
