checked the oil and the coolant, both look clean as a whistle so im sorta leaning back from it being a HG.

this is a reason why IT WONT be a h/g problem
as mentioned get a compression or leak down test done - that'd confirm h/g or not
im leaning more towards ignition problem - sound like a faulty lead or fouled plugs etc - check it all - check ur cap, ur leads, check each lead\spark individually whilst motor is running - process of elimination
put it this way - if leads are fine (physically), then move on to check spark (pull leads out one by one and bring near a metal surface to see spark jump - but make sure ur earth cos ull get a very big shock otherwise lol), if when u pull the lead the motor does not change note (ie continues idling fine) for any cylinder, but the spark is fine from that lead, then its a combustion chambr problem - ie. fouled up plug, bent\stuck valve, cracked head on that cylinder, cracked block etc etc
once again - a compression test will determine this
