ok. If you are short, that would mean the valve isn't opening, which might cause it not to start (it should still hit though), but, that would not account for your low compression of 30 psi. It would more than likely be the opposite or normal. If you only have 30 psi, you have another issue besides the pushrods being too short. If the pushrods were too long and it was holding the valve open, then you would have low psi.
