I thought of something while I was falling asleep.
Take out all of the plugs. crank the engine. It should turn over smoothy, fast. air should whoosh right out of the spark plug holes. (verify this)
Now, install just 1 single spark plug and crank again. the motor should still turn smoothly, but when it hits that one cylinder, it should slow down and make obvious compression noises.
do that for each plug, and determine if the engine sounds different on different cylinders. If what you say is true about #4, then it should only really slow down on #4.
again, did somebody deck the block and forget to deck the oil pump? I am still having a hard time believing 0psi on 1-3.
To me, if that was any old random motor, I would just install some new plugs and watch it fire right up.
