Thanks Bob
Tappets are good and valves are closing / opening ok from a visual inspection, new springs. I've sprayed cold start into her and have achieved a fairly mighty backfire.
I dont want to try to much advance initially till I know where things are, but if I advance her I get a push back in the cranking.
Ill bench test the valves as has sat a while.
Thanks Dickie,
Will try this but will un mixed liquid petrol combust ? and wont the fuel be exhausted after first crank revolution?
Worth a try to eliminate issue i guess.

PS Still interested in what the expected reading would be for a cold compression test ?

Pull the spark plugs out and put a teaspoon of petrol into the cylinders put the plugs back in and have a go at starting.
If it runs then stops you have no fuel getting in, you might find it will start and pull fuel through and keep running.
