The two problems are unrelated. Clutch dog will only be a problem w/
shifting and staying in gear. It will not affect the operation of the
engine.

Now - if you overreved the engine you could have blown it up. That would
cause all kinds of problems.

Otherwise - two different problems.

Not necessarily. He could have burned the lubricant from the lips of
the main seals so his secondary compression process is compromised.
(i.e. sucking air through the mainseal(s)). Over reving could burn the
rubber seals themselves at the mating surface to the crankshaft. It
would be more evident at high operating temps when things expand.
