The head gasket on this engine is known to blow between #1 and the chaincase. It results in rough running and cold #1 exhaust runner. I’ve had two do this same thing; I think long sitting with not running makes it more likely. The point is not enough compression to fire, so take a compression reading.

I doubt injectors are the problem. Timing even less likely.
