Did you hone the cyls? Did ya check the end gap on the rings? 45-50 psi sounds low for any engine.

I did the same to a ford 134 a few years back (5 or so). Wouldn't start for crap and worse if cold. Bone but broke and need this thing to run bad (my loader backhoe and I was building a house). Dropped in a new set of rings and crossed my fingers. No go. Turns out the end gap was worse than the old rings. My trick to get it to fire was to put a little oil down each cly. This would hold just enough psi to get it to fire and spin fast enough to run if the engine was warm (no power and stalled out quick). Ended up with a set of over sized rings cut down to the proper end gap by hand, after honing the p1ss out of it to get it some what round. Ran like a new one and only cost me $100. It had a bit of piston slap but ran strong and is still going today.

And I agree the valves sound a bit on the tight side, but I would do whatever the book says (my ford was up at .015).
