Default Help me Please!!! Misfiring problem

Okay, I have a b16a1 w/ ctr pistons. It ran perfect till one day when i missed gears and over reved it and bent a valve, since then I have gone through numerous reapirs, and still can't figure out why my car still misfires.
this is what I have done:

-I have changed heads
-leak down test checks out, losing 5% acroos through piston rings
-new distributor rotor and cap
-new map
-cat looks okay from inside
-no vacuum leaks
-Timing checks out
-running 45 psi w/ 310 inj
-new pcv sys.
-all inj. click during idle
-new o2 's
-checked the spark plug wires
-new plugs

Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks

Have you been able to narrow it down to one cylinder?

It's easy if it acts up at idle. Pull one plug wire at a time to see if the idle speed is affected any. If you find one that doesn't do anything, concentrate there.
