This car was run on WVO. If the rings are polymerized from the WVO, there is nothing that will work with the pistons in place.
I've been to this dance. Marvel Mystery Oil, varsol, Coke (when you get desperate, you'll give anything a shot) all tried, nada. That was many years ago, when people were just discovering the polymerization issue (depending on cirumstances, motors may run many years on WVO before it becomes an issue).
I really think the compression test is the next step right now.
Not meaning offense: but is it possible, just possible, you did the valve adjustment backwards (used the exhaust setting for intake and vice versa)? I managed to do that the second time I did the job....
