Head gasket replaced

I replaced my head gasket along with new spark plugs and spark plug wires and new downpipe and zip rear power log. After I put everything back together my car doesn’t start

Turn over at all or just nothin? If theres nothing at all, I would think you forgot to plug something in.. It should turn over no matter what..

Are you getting fuel? Way back in the past I recall replacing the head gaskets and my friend that was a mechanic indicated that the push rods needed to go back exactly where they were, or there would be a problem. I recall Joe on the Garage Squad said some thing like that also.
