My 4 year old can take several hours to go to sleep. If he napped later than 2 (up by 2 )or for more than an hour after his second birthday he would have been awake until 11 or 12.

Totally agree with this - it's no wonder he can't get to sleep at night when he sleeps until 6pm! Both of my boys couldn't get to sleep at night if they napped at all during the day starting at around 3 years old.
