Start by checking the fuel pressure at the rail with a gauge.

How old are your plug wires? Wouldn't hurt to get a new set, faulty wire can cause misfire.

Did you have your head tested and shaved? Head gaskets just don't "blow"

compression check?

Switched the plugs around to test and see if that would change misfire and it still did the same thing but they are bosh so maybe change them to something different ?

That would be a hole in the top of my piston. You need to do a compression test
