Default crappy engine

my friend and I both got B16 motors from HMO, mine was fine and his had some problems. we got it installed and running but it was leaking oil from the left corner of the head, so we changed the head gasket and it still leaked, so my cousins friend who works at a shop machined it, we put it back on and now it's leaking antifreeze. What do you guys think it could be at this point cuz we checked the block and it was perfectly flat.

the car might have had a bad warp on either the head or block

pics of the leak? It could be coming from somewhere else but your thinking its the head, and just wasting your time. Leaks do what they are, they leak. So you could have something that comes from the top but its leaking on the bottom. Try looking for a trail.
