I'm digging into my 07 doing some work, I purchased it dirt cheap so I don't have an issue doing some work to get it done, the issue I'm having is misfire codes that varies from #1 to #8, I've ohm'd the coils and they are fine, I checked plugs and they were slightly wet and gas smelled, after some thinking I remember it had set about 2 years and was empty on the fuel, we added a couple gallons to load it on a trailer and it ran ok, no misfires. But shortly after it started developing a misfire in 1 cylinder #1, I cleared the code and replaced the plug and coil and problem persisted and more were added for a total of 4 different cylinders. So I pulled all the plugs, ran a camera in the chamber's and all is good expect for some varnish on the pistons, and ran a compression test both wet and dry and all checked out within a couple psi across the board. So I'm left thinking it's the injectors trashed from the crappy old fuel. Current plan is to replace injectors, I noticed a couple roller rocker's are starting to wear but cam looks good, so I'll replace all those and tappets, flush injector rail and lines, replace fuel filter, and since I have new coils (FORD) and plugs , replace those and finally flush the engine and change oil. Also tensioners and guides look good, as well as upper vvt gears aren't making any sounds so I think that's been replaced prior and it's not setting any codes for timing issues. I know that was long winded, but anything else I should consider checking while I'm in this?

Sounds like you covered the full deal.
Make sure you do all the rockers in there, not just the ones that are starting to go bad....
While your into the valvetrain, check the camshaft journals as well.

How many miles?
