Do you have any exhaust leaks between the engine and the passenger side O2 sensor? If so, this could cause a false lean condition which would cause a rich condition on the right bank.

well i hooked up a compression gauge up to cylinder in question and it was barely reading 25 lbs on it so i am pretty sure it is a burnt exhaust valve

Yeah, that's low. Could be a valve or broken rings. Did you try putting some oil in through the plug hole and see if that improves your compression? If it does, the rings on that cylinder are shot.

You could also put air pressure to the cylinder when both valves are closed and listen for air either escaping from the exhaust, intake, or crankcase.

yeah i tried putting oil in it it barley raised at all so it has to be a burnt valve, now i am pretty sure replacing that is going to be a pain i am correct in assuming this

Ok after two very exhausting days of taking that motor completely apart, (which after doing so I think I might have a personal vendetta against the guy who designed it) i found out it was indeed a bad valve in cylinder number 4. It was bent crooked, I had never seen anything like that, but anyway replaced it and it running good.
