Well I will try to give you the steps I took
1. I tore down the engine because it was not run for 15,20 years
2. The inside of the engine was full off junk ( castor ) I replaced the main bearings, remove the piston rings and cleaned the ring grove,all parts were cleaned. # 4 ring was replace, I broke it, this is one of cly. that has no compression. Thats why I wonder what I did wrong.
4. How do you perform a leak test?
5. Cam timing was good I lined up the spots on the gears. I made sure the it was right on.

Because of no compression I removed plug and inserted a dowel. I then turned until rockerarms did not move. Piston was at high point. I then ajusted valves. With the head off, I put my hand over the cly. and I thought I had good compression.
Thank you Don Cunningham
