Default 2000 USDM Honda CRV with JDM B20B Crank No Start

I'm having a bit of an issue with a CRV that I swapped the old 300k B20Z2 with a JDM 38k B20B high comp.

Actions:
Fuel pump is priming and I can see gas is on the spark plugs. Verified a second time by loosening the fuel filter line.
Tried starting with the JDM distributor, cranks no start. Verified spark but unsure color.
Swapped with the B20Z2 distributor that was originally installed. Same results cranks no start.
Compression checked @ 190 across all cylinders with a +- 3 variable.
Crank sounds normal and there is a quick hard pause then start cranking again.
Bypassed the CKF, check engine light turns on when going to key position 2 then disappears.

Bit stumped at this point.

*EDIT*
I've gone and done all kinds of researching from which sensors could prevent crank no start all the way to possible vacuum leaks etc.

Update:

I’ve changed my distribution coil pack and ignition module. Same result cranks and my spark plugs come out black like it’s running rich.

Changed out the main relay, same results.

Haven’t gone around to doing the timing yet but will do it next.

Update:

Got around to checking the timing and oh boy was it bad. It was 4 tooth off. TDC for Cylinder 1, the camshafts were rotated to the left from TDC. Re-did the timing and CRV B20B swap runs.
