Hawk dlx engine problems

so my best course of action because the engine is so simple is compression test then valves adjustment if that doesn't go well then engine rebuild? and if that doesn't work either?

Valve adjustment first, cold engine. Compression test relies on the valves closing and opening on time. If it starts, good news. But warm it up and dump that oil/ATF mix. Then get new fresh oil in there.
