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! Cheers, Jeff

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. Skipper
