PROBLEM SOLVED and I feel so stupid I hate to admit it. So it turns out it was a faulty brand new Motorcraft SPARK PLUG. I even pulled that plug and looked at it when that cylinder was not firing. The shop told me that when it misfires x-amount of times it shuts off the injector and then the misfires jump around as I had P0202, P0351, P0352 & P0354.

So the entire timing job w/lashes & rockers and a new HV pump cost me $1161 in parts plus a $209 spark plug

BTW the truck runs excellent after the timing job and to play it safe I'm going to keep my old set of plugs under the back seat.

The bad plug was the new style sp546.

It's so nice to have it back to semi new again, the wife even noticed how smooth it was.
