Default 96 12 valve oil coming out of exhaust manifold

Hey I've been stressing bad over this so I hope yall can help.
I have a 96 12 valve cummins.
I just did a head gasket due to little water leak under t-stat housing. Well I had the machine shop work the head replace seals on valves the rocker pedestals, valve springs and valves, and push rods are original. There are no hop ups nor hot rod stuff done to it. I torqued all bolts and adjusted my valves like the chilton manual said. So on first crank up after doing all of this, I tried to crank it I primed it and I gave it a shot of ether, BAD IDEA I KNOW!!!, well it cranked it smoked horribly and idled ruff well I i drove it maybe quarter of a mile noticed it wasn't better, so I pulled back in and noticed oil coming out of down pipe on turbo, "I hadn't hooked exhaust back up to turbo yet" so of course a bad turbo!!! Well I replaced it and it's still doing it. So I pull my turbo and manifold off and look into the head, if your looking at the side of the block on passenger side where the exhaust manifold bolts up, well if you start at the firewall and count from there at the exhaust port closest to the firewall and go from 1 to 6 and 6 being the front of the motor the two exhaust ports close to rhe firewall are dry and the rest are wet with oil. No fuel just oil and I'm 99.9% sure it's not coming from the turbo. So if you could please help I would really appreciate it. Also keep in mind never ever had this issue before.
Thanks

How did the valve seats look when they had the head pulled off?
oil could be leaking past the valve seats.
