Did you align the rotor in the dist. to #1 cylinder in the firing order if not you will not get fire to spark plugs. Is the unit backfiring when you turn it over or does it just roll over. Let me know.

You should check to see if the timing is not to advanced that will make it crank slower. Also check to see if you did not forget to put the ground cable back on the manifold it should go on the second bolt or stud on the right side of the motor.
If you have spark and gas it should at least fire unless you don't have any compression. I would make sure that you have spark on all cylinders at the spark plugs.
put in time and remove valve cover, front engine cover, timing belt ,exhaust at manifold, intake manifold and remove head bolts, pull head clean all surfaces replace gasket after head ck for cracks follow specs on bolts and put back together in a shop in would take about 4 to 6 hrs to do .
Push rod,you have two different size,or firing order is wrong. The intake push rod are 5 3/4 inch long, the exhaust are 6 inches long,Disable the spark and crank the engine the sound should be smooth and even,if its not correct the push rods.If it is correct the firing order
If the RPM's are going pretty low to where the car seams like its about to die, then it could be a vaccum leak. Whick could be cause by a bad gasket or something maybe didnt get sealed right when putting everything back together. If you do decide to change the gasket, i would recommend the "Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket". Its thicker and not made from metal and also keeps your intake manifold cooler.
you have a bad intake gasket are a platuim gasket under the throttle body give these websites a try www.alldatadiy.com and www.autozone.com if all fails stop by your local library and get your hands on a Haynes auto repair manual for your car wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.
