Jim when I had the same problem you are having it immediately sounded to me like a cracked head. I did a compression test, & it passed but yet the heads were cracked. I still think that is your problem. Just for the heck of it pull #-3 spark plug & look at it, because both of the heads on my 4.0 were cracked. Hairline crack between the valve seats.
