Pretty good methodology eliminating the injector or coil pack as the
problem.
I'd do compression and leak down tests next.
With Toyota's history of Camry engine sludging I'd be suspecting a stuck
ring, before dismantling the engine I'd try pouring a small quantity of
diesel or some other carbon dissolving fluid into the cylinder and let
it soak for a couple of hours before trying it again.

Parts swapping, huh? Jeez. Whoda thought that would result in anything
conclusive? :)

Agreed, although I'd probably do a leakdown test for a more accurate
result.

Couldn't hurt, although by the looks of the scoring on the bore walls
the damage has already been done.

I must have missed seeing that, if the bore is scored then its an engine
out job.

Yep. It wasn't excessively bad, but it meant that the cylinder would
never hold a proper ring seal and is always going to have oil problems.

There’s a lot of things you’ve missed seeing. Unfortunately for you, that
started with your apprenticeship and it appears to have been all downhill
from there.

I didn't see the original message as the "village idiot" is in my
killfile. FWIW, in one of his videos he diagnoses an very intermittent
misfire using the same method I described to diagnose the same on
NoddyLiar's imagined Commodore with the same issue - no part swapping
required - using nothing but the fuel trim data as *every* real mechanic
would know to do.

I'll watch the video when I get home.

There is a big difference between part swapping to diagnose a specific
fault and the shotgunning you did, pal.

There was nothing conclusive about the "diagnosis" you pretended to have
performed for the fault you described on your imaginary Commodore where
the solution to diagnose the fault with 100% certainty was possible with
a scan tool.

Bet you don't even know what long and short term fuel trim data is.
