Default 1992 civic dx starting problem! HELP ME PLEASE!

alright i have posted this before but here we go again i replaced the head gasket on my 92 civic dx (d15b7) put everything back together and started it up and everything was working fine i go back down the next day and try to turn it over and nothing i have put new spark plugs in also it has spark i have checked over and over it has fuel also i checked that and the compression is fine also i cant think of anything that could be wrong with it. i have been told to check the ignition coil but if it has spark how would the ignition coil be bad im at lost here i tried starting fluid also nothing there
