see what happens with super unleaded fuel first, but failing that

go over the fuel system, do a fiter change, check injectors spray properly and all the seals/top hats are good, check the metering head flap isnt sticking

was the wur tweaked when you checked the fuel pressure? they have been known to go wrong after being fiddled with!

How much was skimmed from the head as if the compression has been raised that might be a issue.
