: This engine idles great until it come up to running temp, then #3 cylinder goes dead. I have

You said you checked the compression when it was hot, I doubt the problem is a valve if the compression was ok then. If the valve was not sealing, the compression would not have been the same in #3. I think your problem is something else, maybe a warn lobe on the distributor, check the spark on #3 when the engine is hot.
