a few months back I had a buddy ask me about low compression after his visi=

do a head job.<br />We pulled the valve cover and checked the clearances...=
. sure enough valve recession had tightened up the cleanrances with one val=
ve (sounds like your #4) was never completely closing it was so tight (clea=
rance wise) We pulled the head....cleaned the carbon.... lapped the valves =
in place (old fuel hose trick on the valve stem) put it back together=
and had good (+/-145psi) compression on all four cyls. That was 10k =
miles ago. ymmv<br /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div>&nb=
