I would try some new gas first.
From personal experience with an engine with a blown water seal, those things sound right. I had gas, compression, and spark but it would start. Look in the water resevor or the radiator cap, as you crank (obviously need two people.) If the water is bubbling your in craps ville. If thats the case its probably on the exhaust side, and you'll need a rebuild or junkyard engine.
