It Blows The Crank Case Oil Seal And It Builds up A LOT of Pressure.

Further, when the engine revs up, the excessively high oil level will cause the crankshaft counterweights and the lower ends of the rods to strike the oil surface, throwing A LOT of excess oil onto the cylinder walls, overwhelming the small quantity of oil that the piston oil control rings CAN handle. At the same time, the oil in the crankcase will become grossly aerated, forming a froth or heavy foam, the oil-foam won't have any load carrying capacity and the journal bearings will become damaged. At the same time, the engine will blow oil thru most of its seals, and even ingest some of it, billowing smoke like in a broken engine. Bad idea!. amclaussen.

What happens if you get way too much oil?

I assume you mean what can happen if you overfill your engine with oil? Too much oil is just as bad as too little. The crankshaft will make contact with the oil and create a froth of air mixed with the oil. This will cause the oil to loose part of it's ability to lubricate the engine properly, causing engine wear. If you overfill the oil level then drain out enough to get it back to the proper level.
