Default Coolant problem!!! help

Okay so here it goes. My car has been down for quite along time and im getting real sick of it. I am currently running a b18b turbo with hondata and since the recent install of the new motor ive had problems with blowing coolant out of the exhaust. So instantly i figured it has to either be the head gasket or a cracked/warped head. So i pull the head bring it in to the machine shop to get inspected and it comes out perfect. Next i get an oem honda head gasket and spray three coats of copper spray on it. I cleaned the head and block and also used arp headstuds when i put the head back on. I made sure to torque everything to the proper specs and then started it back up. Well what do you know, it was still smoking coolant right out the exhaust. I pulled the oil cap and the oil was once again nice and milky. Sooooo, what the hell should i do next or what could be the problem.

Look and see if a coolant line has been put on the manifold somewheres?? start it up. and then take the IM off and look in the top of the head and see if theres puddles of coolant in the top of the valves. if not its comming from the gasket
