    Plug wires would be my first move, too. Could be a valve guide, or even a loose seat insert if the engine has 'em. How many hours on it?
    4 and 6 are side by side, and on the same half of the intake. Just thinking out loud here, but could coolant be seeping into them? Head gaskets can leak without losing compression.
