If most of your leaking is from the exhaust valve, then 62 in pretty low in my opinion (honestly, I think 62 is pretty low, regardless). If the leak check was done cold, then I would do it with a warmed-up engine. Give Ron Monson a call at 909-593-5008. If I remember correctly, you are on the west coast. I think the key to exhaust valve life running the engine the way you do is quality parts and low valve seat run-out.
