it's possible that the valves need further adjustment. if they were tight, they could have damage that caused them to seat further after you drove it after the first adjustment. readjust the valves and try again...
good luck!

Adjust your valves again.
Do a compression test.
Then do a "wet" compression test. If you see improvement over the "dry" test, you have leakage by the rings. If no improvement you have leakage past the valves.
If it still starts and runs, drive it.
