Push or pull it to bump start it if its a manual. Worked for me after my build.

Low compression. What was replaced during the rebuild?

Ah.
Not the side seals?
Did you check the housings for flaking or chatter marks?

Sorry man. I think you'll need to rebuild it again, properly. Do it right or do it twice.

Its not uncommon for the compression to be low following a rebuild. I would recharge your battery and keep trying to start it. Good chance you'll pick up some compression during the first 5-10 minutes of run time. I would at least try that before tearing it back apart.
