I just changed the oil in my car about a month ago, but havent been able to drive it much since because I got a wroped flywheel, but i have be cranking it and letting it run for a few minites and reving it to about 1500 to 2000 RPM(because of flywheel knocking) i went out to check my oil this morning and my oil smelled like gas. That is very bad. I think it might be a stuck open. Does it sound like this is the case or is it something else. Help.

Some stuff got messed up when i first started typing.
I got a worped Flywheel (getting fixed in 3 days) (Flywheel knocks)
I think the reason for the gas in the oil is because an injector is stuck open.

for what ever reason it seem like your engine has been flooded, yes injector problems are a possibility. definitly change that oil before running it any more.

Bad piston rings are a cause of gas smell in the oil also.... you might want to check your compression.....
