That code has nothing to do with an engine mechanical issue.

So tje misfire feeling isnt from the p0351? Then.... coukd valves not closing the whole way cause a misfire feeling? If you see the pics of my heads when they were "fixed" it looks like the valves dont close the whole way

I'm not saying it does. In my experience, when the piston suffers heavy damage like this, the sleeve cracks and if it isn't caught and a piston is just slapped back in, the coolant leaking into the chamber causes a misfire.

Just fix the P0351 code as it will cause a misfire.

Yes, it could but that's not causing the P0351 code. And if the car is speed density tuned, the misfire detection will be disabled.

A good old fashioned compression check will tell you what's wrong or point you in the right direction.

Btw, why are you gapping TR6s @ .045"?

The stock .035" gap makes the most power generally.

Why don't you want to fix the P0351 code first? Setting spark plug gaps to .035 won't change anything.

I do want to get the code fixed thats the main problem the plug gap was the shady mechanic stealing my spark plugs which shows what type of *** hole he is and now that he was paid most likely he wont fix my car but ever since he put the obd computer and cleared both codes yesterday they havent been back but you know what this misfire sounds alot like an exhaust leak but only in upper rpms
