I have a '57 Budda diesel that has been sitting for 5 years. What should I do before I try to start the old cockshutt? I would like to turn it over and check the compression without injecting fuel just to make sure the internals are OK. Any help is appreciated!

I would woryy more about the plunger in the injection pump. Some fuels will make the plunger sticky. Since it rotates as well as travels up & down they can be a problem. Also since it is a four stroke engine, turn it two complete turns with a socket and a break-over bar. You might also want to take the valve cover off before you turn it over to make sure none of the exhaust valves have "stuck". Was the exhaust covered? You mentioned compression test. Do you have a diesel compression tester and the correct adapter?
