3VZ-E Dead number 6, good compression???

Iv done all first hand go to tests at this point and now making the move to pull driver side valve cover and take a look for possibly a flat cam lobe. While im there, im going to replace injectors, never put injectors in this rig so im thinking it wouldn't be a bad idea. And most of you know how much fun it is to pull the air chamber on 2nd gen! My question for anyone who is reading, is there anything else I can inspect while i have the air chamber off that may lead to my problematic number 6 cylinder? Good spark, but not firing. Thanks!

Pull, clean, and re o-ring the injector cups. they come out pretty esy, but you have to work them out with 2 screwdrivers carefully. They might break, but new ones are available. New o-rings I believe can be had by yotashops, As well as new injector harness pigtails. careful with the 90* hose that goes from the intake to the diverter valve at the back corner of the intake. And make sure it is back on the diverter valve before bolting the intake back down.

Also, check you little water manifold at the back of the intake lower. the temp sensor is usually about to break or will break with the slights tug, but it and a new temp sensor pigtail are also available new.
yotashops is my go to for factory replacement parts, and if I can not find what I need there, typically rockauto will have everything else, and sometimes options for oem replacement parts.
