I was going to suggest timing too, how much oil dose it burn?
Something else to think about if it doesn't use a bunch of oil. it just need valves NA valves don't like extended periods of high egts. I've burnt two set out in two engines. If the po was like me and used the 1200 mark as the governor for miles on end it's hard on valves.

The GP timing is right on, so its no issue with the GP's...
Possibly timing, but we don't know (If you need me to send my meter down, that's what I do, let me know)...
But bottom line, compression test again with the new starter, if its still down around 300, that's the issue.
It does sound like ***, either it has a lot of air in the system, or it doesn't have enough compression to light the fire...
