That 175 is a problem. what it indicates is the combustion chamber is not sealing as effectively on the #3 piston. When it is out by a good amount, it can put an uneven load on the reciprocating parts, think about how your car would ride if one of the wheel balancing weights fell off. It might be rings or valves, does it smoke at all when you start it in the morning?
