Tie the "stop" lever down on the injection pump. Remove the valve cover, and then crank the engine with the starter. If the oil pump is producing pressure, after 5 - 10 seconds of cranking, you should have oil squirting onto the valve rockers. Then you will know if you should proceed with a valve adjustment (and conveniently you just removed the valve cover!) followed by the compression test.
