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

dun all the oil an filters

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

Sounds like you may have got water in the top end 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

Hope its nothing to bad
