is the timing ok? Have you checked for air leaks around the inlet? Throttle body clean?

my omega had a replacement head after the dealer serviced cambelt had snapped.... the inlet was loose, like john h said... they fixed it, but after a few weeks, the cat was tatered...

I reckon coolant temp sender, the one with the blue plug, as it sounds like it's running rich which is normally due to that playing up.
