Default running like crap.

My friends car is running like crap but it starts up fine but at soon as it gets warm it starts running like crap. Its got a new opti and also a new o2 sensors. Once it gets warm it starts misfiring and we already changed the plugs and wires. Any ideas?

Could possibly have burnt a Valve.. does it mis-fire throughout the powerband?

If it does then I would lean toward a burnt Valve.. it sounds like it.
