I sure can't tell. Is that rust staining on the interior of Cylinders 3 and 4? Did it happen after you loosened things up, or was it there when running? If so, that looks like a sign of trouble somewhere.
I hope my suggestion of head gasket didn't lead you to waste your efforts, tho I must say the erosion around the water jacket ports makes it look as if a new gasket could have been around the corner anyway.
A tip to localize which cylinder is missing, on a running engine: Starting from a total cold block, let it run just a little. Then lightly touch the exhaust manifold where it leaves the block at each cylinder. The missing one will still be cold.
Wait a minute, you knew which one it was, from the holding the spark plug wire off test that made it run okay.
