No compression and wont start

Brigs and scrap 15 year old craftsman pressure washer wont start

Heres what ive done

-New intake valve stem old was out of spec

Center punched the valve seat on the intake because it was litterally coming out (check comments for photos)

-new carb seat (was leaking gas)

-cleaned up the exhaust stem

-lapped the valves for better seal

-new gaskets (head,crankcase cover, breather,float bowl seal)

-removed the rust on the flywheel and ignition system)

Only thing i havent done is new piston rings (only other thing i can think of with little to no compression)

Another thing about the valves when theybare compression i could be wrong but they shouldnt be able to move around freely like that when used my fingers

Its possible the intake valve seat i center punched wasnt good enough to hold compression but i looked at it and seemed sealed. I also havent sprayed starter fluid in the intake which i probably should do if that helps
