I'm confused about what you're saying regarding the head gasket. Did you take the cylinder head off and replace the bead gasket? What did you put the make your own gasket stuff on?
As for not starting, if you're getting fuel and spark, it sounds to me like a timing issue. Set the engine to top dead center on the number 1 cylinder, and then remove the distributor cap and make sure the rotor is pointed to the number 1 contact on the distributor cap. The distributor is driven by the exhaust camshaft, and on a 4 stroke engine the crankshaft will turn twice for every single rotation of the camshaft, so you may have to rotate the crankshaft an additional 360 degrees to get to time up pfoperly
