How far forward did you flip it and what did the engine do with it flipped? I'm wondering if when it flipped one or more of the cylinders filled with oil and bent a rod.

As OM has said, cylinders can fill with oil if the machine flipps over. The correct procedure is to remove glow plugs or injectors and spin the engine over after the machine is put up rite to remove any oil that may have gotten in.
If you don't do that, you rish hydraulic lock which can bend rods or worst case, breaks rods and punch them through the block.
