too much oil will cause the oil to froth into a "foam" as the crank churns it and then the oil pump cannot pump foam...I would drain it out to the proper level but that's just me.

I think 3/4 of a quart to much maybe pushing it. I usually run an extra 1/2 qt in mine. The last thing i want is to be reving 6k + and have it pump the pan dry.
