Default Car won't start, any ideas?

Car won't start now and my brain is fried thinking about it. I had the head off the car and it started up ok before. Now I have the head back on and no starting of the car. I get cranks and I get fuel. I know I'm getting spark at least to the distributor from the MSD. Put in some new plugs, same thing. I've only done the timing belt twice before now, but I'm fairly sure its on correctly. Sounds kinda shady at this point, I need the car together before the move.

Just the battery and the valve cover were removed, and both are back on. Starter sounds normal.
