Default lots of oil in radiator, help!!!!

so the other day was driving my truck around town and noticed my temp gauge was in the red so i pulled over and popped the hood and there was tons of oil all over the drivers side of the engine bay, tracked it down to it was comeing out of my overflo, oil had gotten into my cooling system and filled my over flo then blew out the top, limped it to a freinds and we tried to find the leak so kept tryin to flush the system but more oil kept comein out of the radiator so much that after 10 minutes of idling it took at least 6 quarts of oil outta the motor and into cooling system, did some research and was lead to the oil cooler pulled it off took it to get pressure tested was good new cummins gaskets put it back together fired the truck up same issue, so pulled the head off and noticed the head gasket was blown out in a couple different spots, my head gasket was done 6 months ago with arp studs, head was decked as well, im just worried that this much oil could get in the cooling system from the bad gasket???? it was blown in 3 different spots by the oil galleries, ive done more research and put dowels in my oil jackets on the block and put compressed air in the front one and looked for bubbles in cooling system and i had NO bubbles, the head is in the shop now gettin fire ringed, any more info or tips is greatly appreciated thanx,
