Nicholas, I googled terms like "oil overfill problems" and "too much oil engine damage" and got very good answers. Basically a 1/2 quart extra is no issue, and somewhere in the +1 to +2 quart range the oil level starts interfering with the crankshaft journals, which whips the oil into a froth - trapping air bubbles into the oil. When this mixture is pumped through the motor, it doesn't lubricate as intended due to air bubbles being terrible at lubrication. Some motors tolerate this and work fine afterwards - some are wrecked immediately. You need more diagnostics to find out where you stand. I watched your vids and could not tell anything for sure. Good luck!
