Default warped my block?

Iam have another head gasket leak, my car overheated twice before I switched these gaskets, my questions is... could that have warped the block therefore causing a uneven mating surface with the head? when it happenned I shut it off right before it got to red, and now I put new gaskets but it happenned again(leak) iam hoping its from something else. Has anyone warped a aluminum block?

More likely that you warped a head. When you pull the head to replace the gasket, have it checked or do it yourself with a good straight edge.

Have you determined why the car is overheating? That's the first order of business.
