engine turning over but not starting?

[indians32]

99 eclipse 2.0 nt, 5 spd. 420A

just did a t-belt and water pump replacement. i got the car back into time and everything lined up damn near perfectly. there was less that 1/16 inch difference in the markins on the cams and crankshaft. now yesterday when i finished the repair i tried to start it, it turned over but wouldnt start. found oil on the spark plugs (3 out of 4). so i am assuming that is from a blown valve cover gasket. I took out the plugs and dried them off and let them sit over night. i went to put them in today and see if it would start but still same thing turned over but wouldnt go. i tried giving it gas and starting it in gear and neutral just to see if that made ay difference. the rpm isnt moving at all. i havent replaced the vcg yet, could that be the only problem? should i get new spark plugs? since its the 420A i was told that the valves are less likely to bend een though the t-belt broke, so im leaning away from that. any information or ideas would be great thanks.

Since you broke the t-belt, your best bet would be to do a compression test or a leakdown test to see if the valves are bent and stuck open. I had the same problem when I got a supposedly good head from a friend. #1 and #4 valves were bent and not seating properly, so the car wouldn't start.

Also after you do the compression test, I would double check and make sure your getting spark. And new plugs wouldnt hurt.
