O almost forgot to add, this is probably nothing and stupid... Anyways on the top of the heads there are two drain ports on either side of the head, anyways i stuck a little hard line down threw all of them except one wouldent let the line go all the way down into the oil pan. It was the front left one, wtf is up with that.

also it's possible if there was valvetrain noise before pump removal you could have a lifter galley plug that has blown out = happened to me before they are under the timing cover to the side of the camshaft

Yes i did fill the oil filter before i put it on, and i used the drill on it for probably around 8mins or so... All the gaskets are correct, im sure of that. My dad said he was wondering if the guy before us could have possibly put the head gasket on wrong but i dont think that could be done. Now your talking about a lifter galley plug, this gets me very exited because while cleaning out the sump i found something that looks like a very tiny cap that was all chewed and bent up. Could this be that?

why do you now think the problem is a galley plug?
To replace them it depends on if it is a front or back plug.
Either the timing cover needs to come off, or the trans/flywheel needs to come off...
