adjust the valves. keep them slightly 'tight'. then do the compression test. after that, if there isn't sufficient evidence, then do a 'wet' check. then after that, try a leakdown test.

well, lemme add to this:
were the valves cut? were the guides at least inspected? how about the condition of the seals? how about the valve springs? perform a perfunctory 'test' when you do the adjustment. shake (or try to ) the valves when you get to each one. eyeball the movement of the camshaft and valve/springs when you go to the next stroke. make sure the valve events seem at least 'normal'.also inspect the camshaft for any weird or suspect wear.
