I think it is certainly worth trying everything to get the engine started, as the compression may improve with use. I have started these engines on much less than eight cylinders, so with a bit of luck, maybe?
Also try some fresh gas (old gas doesnt work so well), plus some squirts of Holts Bradex ‘Easy Start’ into the carburettor. It might just coax it into life, and it might wet the valve faces too, you never know.
Good luck.
