sounds to me like your head is fucked. they tend to go soft after blownin a ocuple of head gaskets. having 11:1 compression wont blow head gaskets it will just bring out all the weak points

rip the engine out
get the 6 thou taken off the block to make sure it flat, do the same with the head, while the block is out u might as well get it O-ringed and then get a new headgasket to suit the o-ringed block, easy as. that way u get to see how worn all ya pistons are rings and bearing are =) fun fun fun

Adjust your ignition timing to suit your fuel and compression, do it on a dyno for best power results.
