Default escort rs turbo wont start??

after the head gasket going and pouring water into one of the cylinders i ripped my rs turbo apart and did the headgasket today i also took the sump off and pushed the pistons out to check the bores and rings etc, upon inspection all was fine so oiled the rings and piston/rod up the replaced them, cleaned the block up, had the head skimmed, new gasket, put it all back together and now it wont start??? i checked for a spark and at the end of every lead one was presant, then took an injector out and bridged the fuel pump and held down the butterfly in the metering head, loads of fuel there so i have got a strong spark, loads of fuel but not go??? checked the timing and the slit in the bottom pulley lines up with the middle marker on the cambelt cover then the arrow in the top pulley is facing directly upwards. what else could it be im very stuck? got all earths, evan put extra ones on?

any help much appreciated, jamie
