Id be rechecking timing, and if it does have no compession its whoever did the job in the first place who should be paying, if the lifters have been mixed the valves may be staying open but usually these would drain enough over night, if timing spot on keep trying cranking gently pressing throttle fully on / off it may catch, then after around 5 minutes running at about 2000 revs it should start to sound more normal
