A little PROBABLY won't hurt.

That said, if it is a little too much, it can blow your head gaskets (don't ask why I know this).

Oil is relatively cheap. Why settle for less than perfect for your baby?

I would loosen the drain plug, bleed a little out and then, carefully, top it back off to the mark.

If you have some fish tank air tubing, you can siphon some out of the fill hole.

Wouldn't the oil blow out of the crankcase breather and into the air box way before the head gasket lets go? Head gaskets are pretty heavy duty.
