Hi Kerry,
No, it is still not starting. They said the engine has low compression. They wanted to do the valve adjustment before doing the compression test to determine whether it was the valve adjustment or the engine being bad. They warned me that the car may still not start after the valve adjustment (in which case I would need an engine rebuild or say goodbye to it), so that I needed to think whether or not I wanted to spend the money (~$300 total) to adjust the valves on a possibly bad engine.

Yes, poorly adjusted valves can cause low compression.
