In fitting a non-factory/CIS fuel injection system on a typeIV 2L, I unknowingly operated the fuel injectors while operating the fuel pump to test the system and control pressures and WUR . This resulted in the intake manifolds filling with gas (behind the closed valves for most cylinders) which has made it's way to the crankcase. I have not turned the engine over to start it or test it. I pulled the dipstick and the level was above the marks and did the sniff test and as I thought would happen, it smelled of gasoline. I also have a tuna can sump on the engine. My question is: how do I proceed? The oil is draining now and I have not messed with the tuna can. Advice needed.... TIA

Drain it, fill it, and run it. If you want to remove the sump to allow all the oil out, you can, but I'm not sure that's gonna be necessary. If you haven't cranked it, the filter should be OK.
