I wouldn't expect this with a hydraulic roller lifter but several years ago we had a solid flat tappet cam lobe get wiped with a bad lifter. That cylinder stopped firing. Hope this is not your problem but could be checked by rotating the engine and seeing if the rocker arms on #3 are moving as they should.

I checked valve operation on number 3 looks normal just like the cylinders
