Valve Stem Seal Help!!

About half way through my stem seals, I'm changing my air hose/spark plug adapter to the next spark plug hole. Except I'm having a problem keeping air pressure up. It's bleeding off through the air intake of the fuel distributor. So I rotate the engine thinking I will find a spot where all the valves are closed. I rotate that engine about 3 turns and never got to a point where I wasn't losing air. I know I need 100 psi or so to keep that valve up, don't want it to drop into the cylinder. But I'm dropping pressure, 80 to 60 to 40. I can maintain 40 but I know this isn't enough. Somebody please ring in and call me the dumb ass I feel I am. What in the world am I missing? Right now I've stopped in the middle until I can clear this mystery or until I put it back together and just run it. Thanks in advance.
Jet
