    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.

    Yes the oil was changed. And I will try changing the oil. Thanks for
    the fast reply. I will try to put some miles on it this weekend

    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
