Don't have access to a leak-down tester, without buying one.

Sounds like you're going to have to pay someone to do it for you.

Did some more testing.

Interesting results.
I'll list all the results here, previous results included.

Cylinder #3
0psi straight test
0psi wet, 3ml oil added to cylinder
35psi push rods removed.

Latest testing.
150psi only intake valve installed
60psi only exhaust push rod installed
45psi both push rods removed

Cylinder #5
0psi straight test
0psi wet, 3ml oil added to cylinder
120 push rods removed

Latest testing.
0psi only intake valve installed
0psi only exhaust push rod installed
115psi both push rods removed

I made sure the cylinder filled with air before removing the intake rod.

I think this head needs to go back to the machine shop that I paid to fix it.

My question now, why would there be bad valves when the head had just been gone though and repaired by a machine shop ??

Bad valves are your assumption. You don't want to test the way we suggest so i guess you'll find out the hard way. I believe this thread has run it's course.
