I don't understand the moral of your story. BUT it could be due to the MASSIVE brain damage I've sustained from mysterious events.
Sounds gnarly and pretty cool!

Well I'm a rebel WITH a cause my bro, don't you get it yet?

This should've been the last comment to end this thread...

And yes, OEM S2000 oil filters should be torqued per spec.

You probably caught it soon enough that your good. I have read that compression loss in piston 4 indicates oil starvation so it seems likely that oil starvation damages cylinder 4 before others. I cant say why, so take it with a grain of salt.
