Sounds like your timing slipped.

Roll the motor over by hand to TDC#1 look on the joint between the engine and the bell housing - you shoud see a notch in the flywheel. Additionally, the mark on the camshaft housing should line up perfectly. If they are not lined up, your timing is off.

If you are not lined up, you likely bent a valve. if you are lined up, do a compression check it (as previously stated)

Many times, especially if you are unaware of the possibility of it happening, the camshaft can roll slightly when you are installing the camshaft housing on the head, - not much, just a tooth or so. Couple this with the crankshaft not lined up exactly (I use the mark on the bottom of the flywheel) you can easily get 1 - 2 teeth off on your timing.

Fingers are firmly crossed for you.
