When I have had trouble finding a misfire the cylinder is running alot lower in temp. Then I start looking at valvetrain etc if I have allready swapped coil packs and the problem doesnt follow the coil pack.

check the injectors. one or more of them could be clogged up or for some reason not flowing properly
they are ez to pull off and have them flow checked.
also check the coils. you can swap the "bad cyl" coil to another cyl and see if the problem
factory service manual is a MUST. it has some pretty good flowcharts and documentation to help you troubleshoot misfires and the correct steps to follow.
buy or borrow one and good luck tracking down the problem!

Did you look at the valvetrain? Did you inspect the injector? Did you do a leakdown? How about an compression test? You must look at everything very closely. Also rare Ive seen the wiring inside the coil pack harness snap (became brittle). But that is rare one that I know of since 2002.

Well one thing is for certain the problem is somewhere between the valve stem tip and the crankshaft. Anything else is pure speculation. However chances are its a broken valve(s) or a broken ring land(s) either way you can almost rest assured that if its a valve it most definitely made contact with a piston.
If it "runs like a Subaru" that distinct sound is what a 7 or less cylinder LS engine sounds like.

I'm not saying yours is a valve but you definitely have a loss of compression as your test have indicated so there's probably a broke valve or broke ring land or something.
