Engine problem - not starting
He said it winds over really fast Mark,which usually indicates compression loss in my experience,hopefully its not what it sounds like but after he said hes had other belt issues....

Turning over quickly doesnt sound good.Put the car in gear remove the oil filler cap and push the car gently,see if the cam moves.

Valve Springs
Its not power thats the issue its what rpm your engines revs too really,if you have wild cams and supporting mods ie lightened and balanced crank etc i would say you need them.TBH though ive seen some bad overheats where the coil packs have stuck too the cylinder heads but the valve springs didnt suffer.Has the length been measured and they are out of tolerance ?

Good Compression - Head Gasket?? Confused?
after an overheat this is common in all engines ,all the crud that has deposited lifts off and mixes with the coolant,dont condemn the engine yet,the comp test figures are good.flush the system and add new antifreeze.When you unsorn the car go for a gentle drive and see how she behaves.
