Default Oh no! oil in coolant

2001 SOHC

I replaced the head, head gasket, cam, timing belt , water pump, tensioner

Put it back together, ran great, then overheated. Milkshake in radiator, oil not reading on dipstick.

Checked compression, its fine.

so..., blown gasket?, wrong head gasket?, wrong head?, any clues?????

Man, all that work and $$, I cant believe it.
