Could also be bent valves being ur 6mt,

If you say you changed all that. A bad head gasket could also cause that.

What plugs did you use?

Doesnt matter,i over revved my old motor trying to go to 4th but

got 2nd. Couple of months later my motor started misfiring,i bent a couple of valves

on two cylinders iirc. Do a leakdown test,i can bet you have bent valves. Goodluck!
