Hello there everyone this is my friends 2005 civic 1.7 engine with manual trani, he over filled the engine with engine oil I mean two jars of oil I think 8 quarts, and now when we start the engine there is a lot of blue smoke coming out of the tile pipe, and the engine dies shortly. he might kiss the engine good by, what is you opinion thank you and God bless you all.

Why is anyone waiting? Dump that oil now before running it again at all and start over with the correct amount measured exactly.
It might be OK or not? 8 quarts in this would do serious harm or even just 2 IMO and not going to try myself to find out with one,

I can't know instantly on that. If you can suck oil out - some kits can suck out oil thru dipstick or just drain it now by drain plug into a VERY clean container. Skip the oil filter and fill to read ONE QUART LOW - got that?
What happens isn't exact when overfilled. Crankshafts with that much too much would just about certainly be splashing in oil with volumes of oil shot up and at pistons not meant for that. It would get in wrong places, smoke like crazy up to engine destruction unknown just yet. So much oil burning would quickly foul up plugs, disable sensors for how it runs like O2, converter choking on oil not good to fatal to it too.
I see no choice but get it down as said above and try again as I'm highly sure any damage is done so trying again will tell.
It may take a LONG time for smoke out exhaust to quit if it keeps running or have over-fouled a spark plug or all of them?
IDK - this is extreme so not a known list of if it wrecked what yet. It might be a good idea to remove spark plugs before cranking it again and see if oil spits out plug holes.
I'd try and hope it can be saved just getting it proper now and let it run and know what's next.
This is so excessive it's unfamiliar to me. Most vehicle engines can tolerate a quart too low or too high on level ground with no ill effects. This remains unknown till you do something.
As said, don't even try to run this now until you've know oil level and suggested the ONE quart low mark and check again in 30 seconds of run time where it is if it runs now at all. If not on to compression testing and more,

It probably still has a lot of oil in places it shouldn't like the Catalytic Converter, PCV line and intake manifold. It needs to be run for a while to burn all that stuff out before you are going to know if anything is permanent. I would expect to find some leak problems from the overfill.
