Loads of oil entering cylinders

Blew up an engine and got a supposedly running replacement. After all the work, first time it started it produced clouds of smoke and the entire exhaust system spews a mix of smoke and dribbles of what's clearly oil. I collected a sample and set it on fire to be sure. Oil with maybe a little gasoline in it.
When i say the entire system, I mean the tailpipe, the flex joints, the couplings, the turbo, and especially around the exhaust port on cylinder #1 (nearest the belts). While it idles I can see tiny drops of hot oil weeping out of the gasket under pressure.
I suspect head gasket or worse, some big crack in the head, is leaking tons of oil into at least cylinder #1. If that's the case, I'll fix it. What I'm interested in is any alternative diagnosis to try first. Anyone have any suggestions before I pull this engine out?
