Havent rechecked compression with choke open.  Working on valves now, and I have cover off.  Just trying to figure out now how to check the valve lash.  LOBE up or on its side.  Keep hearing contrasting sides

The reason for TDC on the compression stroke is just to make sure the valves are closed. I'm not familiar with the DOHC valvetrain,but on a SOHC you can just slack the adjusters off to ensure they are closed. Not sure if that is an option for you or not. If not,your best bet would be to pull the valve cover and visually inspect that the valves are closed. JMO,of course.

Did you ever recheck the cranking compression with the choke and all open? If it reads good there may not be any need for a leak down test.

Experience is something you get just after you need it.
