Unhappy '82 240D Hard to start

Hello Y'all,

I adjusted the valves on my sweet baby this morning and she does run smoother and seems to have a little more power but she is still hard to start. Compression would be my uneducated guess.

Quick Dumb Questions:
1. How do I perform an audible leakdown test? What do I listen
for?

2. What valve work can I do with the cylinder head still on the
block? I.E.- seals? guides?

3. If TDC mark on camshaft lines up with the mark on the cam
tower and the TDC mark on the balancer lines up with the
pointer would this mean that the timing chain is not stretched?

4. Why did I buy this '82 240D?
