What no one has addressed here is that a lot of the new roller chains have 3 different keys on the crank sprocket. They come with Sq. key notch, an triangler notch, and a circular notch. It depends on which notch you have installed the gear on the crank shaft. That is the notch that must line up with the top gear, otherwise you could be off a ton on the timming of the cam. Basically when everything is right the harmonic balancer should be at 2:00 on "0" with top dead ctr. of the engine/number 1 piston.

I went back and read that its already running you did a hand lap on the valves. If you got any of the valves mixed up from the seats they were initially in you won't be able to lap them in. I would do a leak down on your engine. And if you didn't get the timing chain lined up correctly you may have a few bent valves. I don't think your valves are seating making you have no compression.
