Can the bearings be affected by overfilling the oil?
Yes, overfilling can damage an engine. Too much oil causes the crankshaft to make contact with the oil and form a froth of oil and air. This froth of oil and air is a poor lubricant and will cause bearing wear.
How will overfilling the engine oil damage a catalytic converter?
Your biggest problem with overfilling the engine is not damage to the converter but damage to the engine itself. Overfilling causes the crankshaft to make contact with the oil. This will cause a situation where air will be mixed with the oil. This air mixed with the oil causes the oil to lose it's lubricating properties as air is a poor lubricant. This will cause the engine to overheat and will result in severe wear to all moving parts within the engine. If you overfill the engine drain the excess oil out immediately.

Why does the removal of the air cleaner cause the motor to die?
The air cleaner removes particles of dirt before the air enters your engine. Without it, dirt will enter the cylinders, scoring the walls, and eventually leading to failure.
Can too much oil cause rocker arms to come loose 2010 Corolla?
Well, doubtful. Overfilling can cause oil to foam as the crankshaft whips air into it. Foam can cause hydraulic lifters to operate incorrectly. But you'd have to overfill by several quarts to do that.

I believe the answer is Yes. The only reason it would not is if there was no air, and I believe that there is air on the moon. NOT air you can breath, but air still.
