Engine Mechanical problem
2003 Honda Accord 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

After the timing belt tensioner bolts broke off the block I took a compression check and found between wet and dry readings the valves are good. The #4 I suspected from the begining from hearing it start in the driveway, dry test almost 20#, wet test 150+.
Upon teardown I can't find a noticable cause for my problem. No head cracks, rings have very little end gap wear, cylinder walls have cross hatch pattern, what the heck!
