It sounds as if you put one or both head gaskets on backwards. Did you pay attention to the "front" stamped into the gasket?

transmission fluid in the motor, did you notice any white heavy smoke through the pipes. you should have. how did that get in there. hope it wasn't just a air bubble in the system because if it was, you just wasted time and money taking it back apart

no it wasn't just air bubbles i tryed to get all the air out but it don't work and it wasn't bubbling it was spraying water out the radiator everytime it was on a compression stroke but there are no cracks that i can see ane the gaskets weren't cracked or anything so i dunno what it would be unless the intake gasket didn't seal up i dunno
