Misfire Cylinder #3

I need some help on diagnosing this 98 with 170k miles on her. The plugs look great white/light grey in color. Wires were changed within the year so I'm leaning toward an intermittent bad coil pack. Cylinder #1's coil pack was replaced within the year ago. Suggestions, comment, ideas?

Did a comp. check:
I really didn't see the need to squirt oil into the back 3 after I did the front 3. If it was easy I would have done it but if you've ever worked on this engine I'm surprised I even got a compression check done in less than 30 minutes.:iceslolan
I was thinking of the worst case with these kind of miles considering the history of head gasket jobs on this engine. But I feel pretty good with all but cylinder #2 (which still isn't too bad considering the mileage).

Anybody know what the new engine comp # should be?

Comp check info.

1-160 3-160 5-165

Well..I traced back your previous posts ...there is an history of misfires...but nothing more alarming. What leads you into that investigation? ANy other operational symptoms?
160-170 is absolutely good, and of course 100-120 is a little low on #2: gasket leak? valve? rings?...if that is all there is, and no other symptoms, I'd be tempted to let go..and wait. If you loose coolant and other symptoms develop, then I'd be afraid of gasket failure...my brother just blew one this morning (Montana 2002), one more on the open list of fatalities.

No other problems besides the misfire. I put it all back together and went to start it up but the fuel rail seal was leaking so as soon as I get a chance to replace it I'll fire it up and see if the replacement of the coil pack did it. That the only thing I could think of besides a plug wire. We'll see.
I'm hoping I can replace the seal without tearing half the stuff out again.
