Then the valve cover is coming off to replace the lifters and possibly the valve guides/seals. Something is going on in that cylinder. Not sure what yet. Going to start working on in this friday. Also the car has developed a tick it sounds like right above that cylinder. This is why i may replace the lifters. I cant belive with 17,000 miles i am dealing with these issues.
Did you ever check or change the plug wires to that cylinder like others have suggested? No DTC's?
