new head gasket and now coolant in oil...why?

if you didnt pick it up in the other thread i blew a head gasket, had a hell of a time getting my head resurphaced and new orings pressed in it by the icelandic machine shop, broke the dipstick handle and the stick retreated as far down as it could, didnt receive all the head bolts from the cummins guy in the city, spent 3 days figuring out why i had no fuel to the pump....
get all that sorted out get it started and warming up for the second torque, and what freakin happens the oil starts going milky on the valves.

why on earth other than to try and make me mad would i have water/coolant in my oil after a new resurface job, new head gasket and a good torquing?

some one help me out here. that was a 130 bucks worth of oil alone wasted not to mention the 230 bucks i have to pay for the head gasket.
