"My theory about valve issues in #2 was based on the assumption that the intake valve for #3 could be open while air is leaking out of #2 through an improperly seated intake valve. This was based on review of the valve clearance setting instructions in Les Andrews' book which shows both valves for #2 closed while intake for #3 is open. Am I misreading this information?"

I think you could be onto something here!
