Ignore the misfire, seemingly unrelated. It's coming and going as it pleases. For ***** and giggles I pulled the plugs on cylinder 4(the ticker) and cylinder 2(the rocker i pulled off for comparison) and 150psi exactly on both. Pretty good in my opinion for a 200k engine. So the lifter isn't bad enough to stop the valve from properly opening and closing.
My suspect of the misfire is the $30 chinese amazon plug wires I put on it from "JDMSpeed", they feel cheap and don't exactly click into place. They're good enough for now or until I get an actual misfire code.
