Just a suggestion... but please refrain from heading your posts with "Help".
Something like "Engine ran a short time after valve job. Now won't start" may get you better results.

Anyway, have you checked for compression, coolant loss, or anything else that may point towards a bad or improperly torqued head gasket?

And you know this for a fact because....?

I would pull the valve cover to check for a dropped valve, in case a retainer let loose. Double check the valve lash while you're in there. After that, a compression check would be in order. I assume you bent some valves with a mis-shift or snapped timing belt? If so, the pistons took it on the head.

If all that checks out, go over evrything that you plugged back in or reassembled to make sure nothing worked loose. Make sure the timing belt didn't jump a tooth or two.
