Default B18CR problems with oil?!??

Okay easy break down, decided to give the motor a new head gasket since the last one was leaking coolant.

Took off the head, took it to get hot tanked and resurfaced.

Brand new ARP head studs installed as well.

Put everything back together with new oil, coolant, spark plugs.

Fired it up and it ran perfect for 30 - 40 seconds, then the motor started to sputter and choke, turned off the engine and next thing I noticed was all the oil leaked out within 5 seconds.

The question is did I miss a bolt or nut in the back of the motor?

Things to speculate...
Brand new oil filter was installed properly and the oil wasn't leaking from that.

What's the problem HT? I need to fix this ASAP! Thanks.

Headgasket could be on backwards. Check the back of the head on the passenger side and see if it leaked out from between the block and head.
