Tear it down, a blown HG can give confusing results during a leak down test. I bet you have a blown HG.
If ARPs were not used they should be used. I do the torque in four to six sequences depending on my max desired torque. Use only an OEM HG.
A general FYI, exhaust valves are often burned on Toyota inline sixes. We don’t do valve grinds in my shop for this reason, we replace the valves. New valves (and old) can be tipped to get the adjustment correct using old shims vs the big process of shimming the valves with new shims. Its much faster for a machine shop to do as well.
