I have'nt done it (yet, memory is going though so time will tell), I wouldnt have thought you would have done any permenant damage. At worst you lost some oil and maybe a bit of water contamination judging by your vid . So an oil and filter change incase any water got and should be fine .

As a thought have you got axle and gearbox breathers :roll:

Sorry didnt read that right :oops: I never realised it wasnt running now.

Sounds like you may have got water in the top end :cry: You need to pressure test each cylinder or whip the head off and investigate further does it sound bad when it tries to run ? possible bent valve or similar :cry:

Hope its nothing to bad :roll:
