Misfire under load

Hi Everybody. Please help. I recently purchased a second hand engine for my car (E320 petrol). The engine arrived with a spark plug attached to the plug lead, like the previous owner was checking for spark. I fitted the motor which started up perfectly. It drive smooth under normal driving. The moment you apply load, like up hill, its picks up a severe misfire. No codes and on real time data, it does not pick up any cylinder misfire.
I changed, the plugs, coils, injectors, injector rail, egr, throttle body, air flow sensor and all pneumatics. In fact I changed every part and item above the engine. According to diagnostics, this car is perfect. Why is it misfiring. Please I will appreciate any assistance.

UPDATE: I just returned from the engineer. Pressure tested both heads. No leaks or cracks. No problems with the valves.
