Eh? From that pic it look like you forgot a rocker cover gasket. Hence the oil in the plug bores...ask Benn about this LOL

As above, wip it off and send it for crack testing.
Any oil in the coolant?

Hmm you have a point as we wondered why there was oil in there. It did have the gasket on yeah. No oil in header tank, lots of water in sump

Yeah I'm pretty certain that's not the case. Get the head whipped off and see what's what

Unlikely to be h/gasket with that much emulsification after such a short time!
Head cracked or incorrect gasket!
