Car flipped over - possible engine problems?

hey guys watsup - i had an accident recently which eventually led to my car flipping over onto its roof(it happened very slowly). The visible damage was on the windshield and the front part of the roof. But the insurance company is claiming that the cost to repair it is very expensive. How likely is it that engine damage were to occur while the car was upside how. Btw, there were only two medium sized dents on the hood.

lucky break. You didnt demolish the car so I guess it would be ok. Never know with an accident.

Well it depends on how long your car was running after you flipped her...I know for a fact once you turn a car over with a Carburator, the Carb. needs to be replaced...Hey call a nissan tech and ask them

driving @ 65MPH and was in the middle lane of a 3 lane parkway. was going to do a lane change and my front left tire blew out on me. Car started skidding to the left, so i cut the wheel to the right trying to control it (i know it was a bad move- but its hard to fight instinct) and like an idiot, i rammed the brakes. skidded over three lanes, car stopped for a second and then proceeded to flip over in very slow motion - NEVER DRIVE YOUR FRIENDS FAT GURLFRIENDS AROUND - omg - i am so serious too - i cant believe they put them all in my car
