Did you get the timing set correctly when you reattached the cam to the timing chain? It sounds like you didn't have the #1 Top dead center or the cams were in the wrong position when you reset the timing chain. The cam shaft and Crank will actually look like they are set correctly two times. Once when it is in time and once when it is out of time 180 degrees. If you are more than 5 degree out of time or more than 5 degrees from the point where it is 180 degrees out of time the engine normally won't fire at all. The easiest way to check and verify this is to do compression checks on the cylinders, you will find you have little or no compression on several cylinders if this is the case. To correct it remove the timing chain and set the crank to #1 Top Dead center. Then go to the head that is on the #1 side, line the cam up so that both valves are closed for the number 1 and line that mark up. You have to find the firing order to make sure the intake is open getting ready to close for the next cylinder that going to fire and the exhaust valve is closed, then make teh final adjustment to line that cams timing mark up then replace the timing chain. This should get everything roughly within 5 degrees of zero and should get the motor so it will start.
dude, i think you have two spark plug cables cross over. go to your local autozone and find a "firing order" if it was a blown head gasket it would show on the compression test but i'm pretty sure its a spark plug cable cross over.
It's possible that while changing the head gasket you inadvertantly change the timing, check to make sure that the #1 cylinder if firing in th proper order,
