x2. That's what I am thinking. Given the recent history and what you said, it could very easily be bad timing.

I did my timing belt and water pump and various pulleys myself, and it cost me $900 in parts. So don't feel too bad yet. I would get the the pulleys off and re-time the VX. There are several videos on how to do it and the shop manual is available on this forum. Also, see my how-to. You should be able to see if the timing is correct without pulling the belt off. Which will save you some work.
