I have posted several messages trying to figure out the problems with my 1.9L Crew.  I was going over my engine the other day and with the help of a friend we noticed that the Spark Plug holes had been bored out and reseated.  The job was done poorly and therefore oil was getting past the plugs and loosing a liter every 200 Miles.  The engine had a surprizing 120 psi compression test and that must have been due to the tons of oil flowing everywhere.  
    Well I decided it was time to just call this a bad engine and start over instead.  I purchased a 1.9L engine that someone had given up on after there Automatic pressure plate had torn.  So he was left with a engine with 300Km on it.  So I got the Engine and replaced it this weekend. 
Thanks for all the help on this problem and Trip on.
