Yes, my course of action would now be compression test*. Look for a difference on your #3 cylinder. If it's OK w.r.t the others, then suspect bearings. If it's not OK, then suspect rings, valves or head gasket. Either way it sounds a bit nasty. I hope it's something cheap and simple but can't immediately think what that might be. *: Compression test would normally be done warm, but you can't with an engine that won't start. So don't expect the book readings.
