Guys, I want to thank you all for your help. I finally got the car fixed.
Your blow-by theory was correct. I went and check my compression and the seal did not hold. I had to take the head out again and bring it to the shop to get flattened. Put it back and all is well now. You could actually see where the blow-by was on the head gasket.
Cost me a second head gasket, headbolts, exhaust and intake manifolds gaskets but hey... plus I'm getting really good at setting the timing belt on ;)
Thanks again.
Nick
