2000 Hyundai Accent gas in oil
Not sure what is going on. I bought the car with a broke timming belt.
Replaced the belt and had the head redone. I have only drove the car a
couple of miles. And then started to hear valve noise so I checked the
oil level and noticed the smell of gas in the oil. I checked the
compression and it seemed fine. I am going to have a friend help me
check it again maybe this weekend. Is there anything else I should
check? I was going to sell the car to a friends mom and don’t want her
to have any problems.
Thanks, Tom

Change the oil and drive a while. Depending on how much cranking was done
when the timing belt broke, it's possible the cylinders were washed down
with unburned fuel. After this happens, it can take the rings a while to
be reseated. I'm presuming the oil was changed when the head work was
done.

That seemed to do the trick. I ran the car thru emissions on Mon. and
drove it about 50 miles with no problems. Thanx for the help
