I assume you changed the oil, since the old oil probably has a lot of that old gas in it.

I had to drain the (brand new) oil as I pulled a head to insure there was no valve / piston interference. The oil did not smell like gas, and will be changed in about 500 miles just to see what it looks like along with a filter inspection. I put the same oil back in through a screen type coffee filter and there wasn't anything in the oil.
