It will only push out oil at the front of the head coz that is where the high pressure oil feed passage is.
If the gasket was new and both surfaces (head an block) were cleaned properly then it would probably be a warped head.
Have to pull it off and check it with a straight edge and feeler gauges, or get a head shop to do it for you.
A cylinder head can be shaved and still be reusable. The amount shaved off the head before the head is stuffed, depends on the manufacturers specs. I know 18RG is only 40 thou.
Note that once you shave the head, it then increases compression slightly and will put more strain on the bottom end.

it sound slike ther eis something mechanically interfereing with the head seating on the block. if the dowels are too long or not properly aligned, you can still torque it up, but it doesn't even begin to seal..
pull the head off, check the gasket carefully to see if it has been compressed at the metal ring at the oil feed hole. if not, there was no pressure on it.
with no gasket, check that the head sits neatly onto the block, if it doesn't touch the block, then the gasket will not be compressed.
check your head bolts are not bottoming out...
check both the block and the head for straightness, a small amount of warpage can be taken up by the gaskets, but too much and a slight shave will be needed. if in doubt take it to a reputable head shop to have it checked. i recommend Sydney Clutch and Brake near botany rd, alexandria...
good luck,
Cya, Stewart

you need a 3T-EU EFI manifold. These are very rare!! apart from that, either aftermarket computer or some sort of early toyota computer will do, loom, efi fuel pump, possibly electronic ignition, water temp sensor, possibly air flow meter, accelerator cable.
If your 2T is worked you would most likely need an aftermarket computer. IMHO some cheap downdraught webbers or the twin carbies off a 2T-B would be an easier and cheaper alternative.
