So doing a valve adjustment i found #3 intake to be very loose. I started to adjust and then found this. Why/how did this happen?

Also, why are my leakdown tests consistently 20% leaking through the case? Rings? I did it cold and the engine looks to be rebuilt from how clean the inside of the heads were.

as an unknown (to you) motor
it might be worth doing the leak down test
that can verify your valve seat is still making a good seal
