Default civic dx will not start

ok, so the head gasket was replaced, the timing is right, I have fuel, I have spark, the distributor is perfectly fine, plugs and wires are all good, the car cranks but won't start. I checked all the grounds and they are fine. I am stumped, this thing should start and run.

Suggestions? Thoughts?

Start by double checking the mechanical timing.

Are the plug wires in the wrong firing order on the distributor cap?

Have you measured the cylinder compressions?

the timing was a tooth off and then readjusted, the plug wires are in the correct firing order, I was planning to check compression tomorrow. thanks for the suggestions, any other ideas? maybe something simple I am overlooking?
