Hi all1971,

Check the compression, is it equal or almost equal with the rest?

If the valve lifters are hydraulic, you need to release the pressure to allow the valves to sit fully with enough clearance.

Check the valve clearances if non hydraulic lifters.

Check for vacumn leakage on manifold for No 3 cylinder.
