You guys always hate when I say this but..
Put in a bottle of Barr's leaks.
It will suppress the leak into #4.
I did it when my Discovery I had bad head gaskets.
I went from using a large beer glass of antifreeze weekly to hardly nothing until I
got time to fix the heads on the disco I.
I will make you a bet....
You put in Barr's leaks and the #4 misfire will go away.
And the sliver bottle will cost you about $5

Not true.
Barr's leaks did not plug my heater core or the Radiator on my 1997 D1.
Barr's leaks did buy me time until I got the engine apart.
Beats antifreeze into the cylinder and out into the catalytic convertor and O2 sensors.
Ignoring this - will ruin the Catalytic convertor and the O2 sensors on the #4 cylinder side.
How do I know this - it happened to my D1.

I have a 2000 Dicovery that I did the head gaskets on last June. At the time I had the heads milled at the machine shop and used the head gasket kit from Atlantic British. In the last few weeks I noticed the Antifreeze was low every few days and I began to get a Check Engine light and the code indicated misfire on Cylinder 4. The spark plug is wet with antifreeze. Does this sound like a dropped/shifted cylinder liner in cylinder 4? Thanks
I am sorry to say this but either have a slip liner/ bad block or bad head. My money would be on the bad liner.
Unless somebody left a wrench in the heads during the gasket insulation there is no way to get coolant into cylinder 4 from bad head gaskets
