stuff is what happens when the wheels go up into the fenderwell more than you thought they should.
oh...
... the wheels are on the bottom because they roll better than the body does.

i dunno when i rolled mine, it was upside down for 3 hours, then we got it back over and started it right up. smoked a lot at first, but then smoothed out. hell its ran even better ever since.. my theory is that a lot of oil got into the top end, thus lubricating the hell out of the engine... LOL.

i did take the plugs out after i tried turn it over once before anything and not much happened sept a backfire sound. hope it didnt mess anything up. i dont think the starter could turn strong enough to hurt the internals of the motor. the battery was pretty dead after lettin the alarm go off all night in tow yard.

A starter is more than strong enough to bend those rods. But you may have got lucky with a dieing battery. Check the water level in battery if you have one that still needs it.
