Did you replace the LIM gaskets?

Lim gaskets were already done before I bought the car. I did not know what revision 1 and two looked like. As soon as the mechanic looked at it he immediately knew they had been done . This was very good news

Cylinder #3 spark plug was split in two.

hmm... I completely melted my plug away, i mean melted. The ceramic was pitted, ground strap was gone, diode wasn't there, lol anything that could have been melted, melted lol. It ran fine just like yours, except WOT after about 4500rpm it was getting spark blowout and causing my kr to shoot up to 10* It didn't do what your car did thought, it just kinda fell on it's face. That was my first melted plug, so many more to go this year. Wanna know how stout these motors are? 3 plugs melted in the same cylinder, car still runs like a champ!

Im getting a weird WOT issue... maybe I should check my plugs.

Did they use aluminum or plastic LIM gaskets? I ask b/c i am not how to tell just by looking at it.

Factory and cheap replacements are plastic(I'm pretty sure the aftermarket ones have a different color rubber part...IIRC factory is grey and aftermarket is redish orange)), the revised ones are aluminum, it is easy to tell which the car has, by looking closely....

Plugs will cause some random issues sometimes

Blue, I know that. I was trying to get the OP to tell me so we know for sure it was fixed. Thanks anyway.

It is the aluminum gasket.
