The two small clean areas on the cylinder head could be the valves touching the cylinder top. Are they semi circles?
How did the valves look? Did they appear banged up? How is the compression in that cylinder after the job? If low, could they be bent and now not seating properly? Was the noise there before? Perhaps it was obscured by noisy chains.
Oh, man. That would be a bummer.
Try taking the plugs out of the car and rotating the engine by hand from the flywheel. If you notice any resistance with cyl #4 at the top, which would be near TDC, that could be it.
Hope things are much, much less serious than that.
