Actually... the engine will not make much in the way of compression if the
valves aren't opening.

However, it will make it really hard to turn over!

Bob,

I know you say you have compression, but do you have valve action? If the
lifters are not pumped up the engine will make compression, but may not be
opening the valves. Pull valve covers and watch valve action.
