Even if your valve tappet clearances are not perfect this should not prevent the engine from starting. If you can feel four compressions when turning on the handle it should start if other things are right. Are you sure the float chamber fuel level is correct, and have you made sure the choke is closing fully. If you are getting four good sparks, did your work involve distributor or dynamo removal, and if so is the ignition timing correct and have you got the plugleads on the right plugs? More information would help remote diagnosis.
