Hi mate, don't take this personally I'm just trying to help.

How did you check the lead and plug ? Did you check the distributor cap for cracks as well ? Are there any bubbles coming out of the radiator with the radiator cap off when the engine is running if so cracked head or blown head gasket.
Is it using water/coolant, is the radiator low on coolant, or is there water in the sump in other words when you pull the oil dipstick out does it look whitish in colour ? Any of these would indicate a blown head gasket. Did the motor get very hot on the temperature gauge at any stage ? If so Possible warped head and even more damage to the motor eg. softened piston rings, scored cylinder bores and pistons = excessive oil use. Have you done a wet and dry compression test on the engine? On the bright side it's got good tires.

I drove the car an hour home and it didn't over heat just ran really rough when I got home I checked the plugs and leads they worked fine but number 4 piston was not firing next morning I drove it to my machanic and got him to check it for me after checking few things and a compression test he told me it's a valve or rings are gone ....lately it was burning more oil then usual but there's no water in oil or oil in water ..also doesn't blow smoke which makes me think it could b a valve ...cheers wishfull ..

I had the same problem with a Landrover Freelander, it turned out to be a bent valve, easy job to fix, but it had just had the head done by the previous owners mechanic and had a total of $6000 spent on it plus what I spent, so I sent it to the wreckers, that was the end of that.

if it is a valve sometimes the valve clearance has closed up and not letting the valve close properly.. check and reset the clearances and it may go again.. a good way to tell if it is rings put some oil in the cylinder and there will be a big rise in the compression reading if its worn rings..(usualy smokey as well)
