Hhhmmmm...... So, everything is working right, (theoretically....) but it still misfires.

Don't suppose you have an oscilloscope that you could monitor crank sensor output while driving it?

No I don't unfortunately.
I looked at some of the other threads about misfires in cylinder 5 and some pointed to valve springs or lifters....🤷🏼‍♂️

One would think that would give an indication via compression numbers though. Wouldn't hurt to pull the valve cover, and have a look though.

Lifters I would expect to make noise if they aren't fully opening the valve......
