Default Car F'd up, need some help

well i've done my mpfi swap and i rebuilt my A6 head for the D15, i'm on my second head gasket because the first one leaked. Now i got everything back together and i tryed to start it up and the car started pumping coolant into the overflow tank.. i was the wtf, now i have no idea whats wrong with my car. anyone know what this could be??
note: this is a 90 civic hatch, d15 motor, a6 head rebuilt, new thermostat, running 89 Si ecu dizzy and intake manifold. also i didnt hook up the bottem pcv line yet, could that be the problem?

Just a suggestion, but put more info in your subject rather than "My car is F'ed up".

When you replaced the head gaskets, did you make sure that you cleaned all of the crap from the previous gasket off of the block and head? Check around the head for a crack also.

Any cracks? Not saying you did this, but if you don't torque the head down right, it may crack. Plus just getting too hot.
