Default I have done everything and still misfire help!

I have a 95 z28 motor n my 94 ta, I bought it and it had a misfire n 2 cylinders so I changed plugs wires cap and rotor and still misfire then I did new head gaskets and laped the valves cleaned and replaced all bad wire connectors on the engine wire harness and still missfire! There is no check engine light on and the spark plugs are clean when I pull them after running the motor. I'm realy loosing my mind chasing this problem. It's a misfire in 2 cylinders. Can someone pls give me some advise on wat to do!

Thank u all for ur advise, I double checked the fireing order and the wires are correct and I took the time to run them the stock way. I did check the power to the injectors with an ohm meter too, it is 4 and 6 that r misfiring. I inspected the crap outa the wiring harnass and I'm pretty possitive I replaced all the cracked wires and bad wire clips, I haven't replaced the coil tho can that cause just 2 cylinders to misfire? I checked for spark and I am getting spark n both those cylinders too, is it posible that they r sparking at the wrong time? Again thank u for ur advise.

I just took off my coil and there is a bunch of white stuff between the the top the metal on it, and there is no grease on it anymore should I get a new one or just clean this one up? There is also white stuff on the terminal where the coil wire goes from the coil to opti

Ya it's dirty it looks more like it's battery acid and the terminal where the coil wire goes looks all chewed up. It looks like someone dropped it a few times too

If it looks like that replace it, along with the coil wire.

Also do a compression check if that doesn't workout.

Compression Test:
Remove all plugs
Install gauge in plug hole
Prop throttle body open
Pull the injector fuses
Crank motor 3-5 revolutions each cyl. Write the numbers down for each.... hope you have good numbers across the board bro

just for the hell of it what is the gap on your plugs? My mechanic changed my plugs and set the gap at 50 and I had really bad misfire.
