Standard compression on the RB25DET was 175, so #4 isn't necessarily high, the other 5 cylinders are low. They're still above minimum (130.5) but the 25 psi differential is way past spec, maximum variance between cylinders is 14.5. First thing I'd do is repeat the test wet-dry and confirm that the #4 reading isn't an artifact. If it isn't, how does the crown on #4 look compared to the others? Carbon buildup due to an injector or ignition issue can drive up compression on an individual cylinder.
