Turns out I was wrong on which valve....it's the exhaust valve on #3 if I'm looking at it correctly. I pulled the valve cover and that one is for sure sticking. The intake valve must have been open when I did the leak-down. I was happy to see the inside of the valve area was clean and lubricated.
I can turn the valve with effort (using vice grips). It is definitely sticky, sometimes gets stuck up. The other valves that I briefly checked spin freely.
Sprayed some penetrating fluid up there and will let it sit overnight to see if it loosens it up a bit more.
Video shows the lifter smacking the end of the valve. The spring can't get it all the way down before the lifter hits it again.
