<VV> Timing Gear ?

[Rodney Sampson]

Ballancer is alligned, however when I removed the Oil Pan to check the 
cam gear,
Gear looks ok...
  I was greeted by gasoline.
  Disconnected gas pump and inspected.
  Will probably button it back up after letting it sit overnight to let 
the remainder
      of the gas to evaporate.
Has anyone ran into a similiar situation ?

Thanks
Rodney
