Well got a noise coming from passenger side valve cover from cyl 4. Unplug the injector noise goes away. Doing a compression test tomorrow. Taking the filter off and cutting it open. How screwed am I? Hope it's not a scuffed piston. Will compression test show everything I need to know?

Not necessarily.

However the fact that killing the cylinder stops the noise sucks. In my experience, that generally indicates a problem with the slug--rod/piston. Ive never heard of valvetrain noise changing by killing the cylinder.
