Engine running while the bike's on it's side
Hello,
There's a post somewhere but I can't for the life of me find it, that refers to damage caused to an engine if it runs while the bike is on it's side after a fall. I'm guessing there must be something bad about an engine that's continued to run on it's side for a while because I figure oil flow would be disrupted. But can someone alert me to the dangers of buying a bike that's been dropped and potentially run for a while while it was down. What goes wrong? What can develop in the future as a result of it? And what should I look out for when looking to buy something if it appears to bear signs of some sort of 'spill' or slide, even if it was low speed?
Thanks
Nathan.
