Ok I was concerned they were closer to stock and that maybe they were being over worked.
I would have to agree with the others as well. possibly ans issue with the valve not sealing properly.

I would check your pushrod length on that side.

Sorry but with out actually measureing your set up that means nothing to me. There are several variables that could affect pushrod length.
It could have a larger base circle. The vale stems could be installed higher then factory spec the rocker arms your using could affect it as well.

something like that. If that cylider is colder on that exahust manifold it may indicate the exahust gasses are not exiting all the way. Same thing on top at the intake manifold near the injector bosses only with heat.
