The only ways I know of to get fuel in the crankcase is either through a bad mechanical fuel pump or by flooding the cylinders. I don’t think either one of these is possible with our engines but if you do smell gas change the oil… engine bearings don’t like gasoline.

Very bad things happen. The gas will wash the barings and the motor can seize. You will want to change oil right away and get the problem looked at asap. Has this been happeing a long time?

I am trying now new k04 setup and I changed the injectors for larger ones like 350cc(from the volvo t5 turbo).I changed it this weekend.

Your washing your cylinder walls with gasoline. You'll wear it out in no time flat. Better scale injection duration properly ASAP.
