Default LS Vtec Issues...Please Help Out!!

I was wondering if somebody can help me out. I put a b16 head into a LS block and did the whole set up with the LS vtec kit, tapped the hole on the head, changed the headgasket. Now the car starts up but im lost now because after a minute or two the radiator starts shooting up oil and anti freeze mixed up together like mud. The only thing i can think of is that its the head gasket but its brand new and it sits right. If somebody has any info on what it could be please post it up. Thank You

Ls vtec head gasket. Cost me 90 bux. Now i think i might know what the problem is. I noticed that who ever had the head last didnt do a good tap. On the the outter wall of the head where the oil hole is that gets tapped i looked in and i noticed there a second hole on the bottom of the second wall at the bottom. Could it be that the person who had the head before me drilled a hole into the oil hole and then drilled a second hole into the bottom wall by accident and thats why the oil is mixing up with coolant?

i'm sure that made some sense in your mind but it doesn't now that you've typed it out lol.

pics would help of what you're describing.

Best thing to do as stated above, is to take pictures when you are trying to describe something.

picture of head just in case you dont have camera.

i would say you put the head gasket on upside down, if this stared right from the start. i dont know for sure but a shitty tap job would cause a oil leak but i dont think it was cause oil/antifreeze to mix
