    Is possible the heat exchanger is shot,and is blowing the pilot out,, if so its time to do some shopping for a new one,, should have gotten it looked at or got some advice before you spent all that money replacing all those parts

    Does it have a lazy (yellow flame) pilot. If so, it needs to disassembled and the orifice drilled or replaced.
