Default coolant problem - No idea what's wrong

I've got a problem, and praying that someone here has a solution... 02 T/A, 6 speed... just redid the heads (ported/polished/5 angle valve job), installed a few other goodies, and thought everything was good to go. Fired it up, and it purred like a kitten. (Haven't driven it yet - road test I mean). It's still in my friend's garage, and we have a problem. When we pressure tested the radiator, we got coolant in the oil pan. No visible leaks anywhere (heads and such). Any ideas?? Appreciate any and all responses...

... after further inspection, it was a head gasket again. Should be up and running later today.

Didn't get the specs on the new one. Should pick her up either today or tomorrow, and will list all the mods so far with a couple of pics. I'll break it in for a few days then throw in on the dyno and post some numbers...
