Ummm sorry to tell you this but I believe what may have caused your head to warp was when you overheated it after you replaced the headgasket and all that other stuff. Thats when most blocks warp and let coolant get in, when they overheat. The blocks only go up to a certain temperature before starting to melt and change shape.

check your upper and lower timing chains for looseness, what could have happened is that your chain is loose from being stretched and old and it wore a hole in the block. I've seen this happen many times.

"chocolate milk" looking oil means a mixture of radiator fluid and motor oil. The last time I saw that meant a CRACKED cylinder wall. Of course, you may have a bad headgasket, too.
