I have a miss on #3 cylinder, with very low compression. A leakdown test showed leakage past the exhaust valve. It looks like it has 2 exhaust valves. but the parts catalog shows only 1 exhaust valve and 2 intake valves. Why are there 2 valves in the front side of the head where the exhaust manifold is mounted and only 1 on the intake side of the head?

burned valve is likely the culprit.... or bad rings.... hook air up to that cyclinder one at a time.... and listen where the air is escaping... be aware that the motor will rotate till the piston is at the bottom of it's rotation. if it's a burned valve you will have to remove the head and replace it but somewhat easier job then replacing the rings. darn almost forgot.... it can also be a blown head gasket.... same procedure but you might need a brush and some soap water to test for an air leak at the side of the head. when you are done spray some wd 40 on it to get the water off so the spark plugs do not arc.

You either have had the wrong valve seals installed, they are physically missing, or the valves are incorrect (too loose in the guides/stem too thin). The rocker arm seals will not contribute to your issue. If it did not have the oil smoke before you took the head off, the issue is with whatever the machine shop did. Valve seals have to fit TIGHT, or oil will go down the valve stem into the intake.
Take the head back to the machine shop & tell them to fix it. For free.

As you've stated driving around town it's fine, and everything is working well. For the symptoms, there are 2 possible causes:
1. Your cooling fans are not working.
2. Your radiator needs to be replaced.
I'm sure you can determine which it is, and I wish you luck on your repair.
SOURCE: one cylinder has zero compression. took head off
OK!... did you do a cylinder 'leak down test'?.. .if not, do it! If any 'unacceptable' leakage, have the head REDONE! NOW!.. you must BE SURE the valve timing is accurate!... Go to www.hmaservice.com and register( Vehicle by VIN). Afterward, you have access to shop manuals, service bulletins, wiring diagrams, etc. about your vehicle.
SOURCE: need head bolt, intake manifold, and exhaust torque specs
Cylinder Head Bolt Step1- (25 FT.Lbs) Step2(45 Ft.Lbs) Step3(65Ft,Lbs).....Intake Manifold(35Ft Lbs)....Exhaust Manifold Center (20Ft Lbs) All Others (20 Ftlbs).....Thanks
