well i called my machinest today he said he resurfaced it ...but im going to pull it this weekend and take it back to him he said hell run across it again to make sure ...but i wonder if i might of pinched the head gasket some were or something because it mix a ---- load of coolent with the oil and i cant even figure out what else would be the cause but its got to be around were the head meets the deck because its leaking and everything else...but if u got n e other ideas of what could be causeing this let me know cuz ill go through and check to see if its a prob

Could be a crack in the block, or a warped block...or a cracked head. I doubt you pinched the headgasket if you torqued it down correctly. I wouldn't get it shaved again but I would have him check it with a straight edge and check it for cracks.
