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

If you have gone to the effort to pull the injectors and ready to spray into containers, for giggles I'd lift the throttle plate to make sure they are all spraying--compare amount and appearance, drop the plate to make sure they stop. When you put them back in you should have some degree of confidence that at least they are working correctly.
