i can understand bending a crank if the engine was running when fluid gets in, the bang in the good cylinder having massive opposite force on the other.
but would trying to start a bike with 1 clyinder full of oil have enough power to do damage?
the starter did not spin just engaged and stopped due to the resistance....
