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.
