why take the head off? try new wires and plugs.your valves have nothing to do with how much spark you have.
Yes I'm having the same problem did u happen to find anything to help yours did u find out what was causing it
no pal! I'm here yo help you with YOUR problem. My vehicles run GREAT! sooo,did you replace the plug wires or that coil? how about spark plugs? Before you go and pull heads off you need to eliminate the obvious.

I have already changed plugs and wires it does have lower compression on number four cylinder but a couple of people has said something about the vvti timing I don't really know nothing about that so I was checking if anyone else has had that problem
variable valve timing will not give you low compression on 1 cylinder. how many miles? and what were your compression readings?
