Unpossible.

I'm sure you missed the part where OP got the engine to start and idle, but had machine gun noises.
But I'm also sure you think gasoline, in a liquid state, can compress more than water, in a liquid state...
Also: keep in mind that there's 3 other cylinders firing while the engine is cranking. It's not just a starter motor pushing things around in the crankcase...
