 Carl, I don't think you are doing anything wrong.  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.

 I have 5 exhaust valves that are leaking on this annual.  Compressions
 are all at acceptable levels (62-76).  8 exhaust valves have been
 previously done.
