just changed the head gasket installed with timing marks on cam to wrong side of bearing boss, took cam out and alinged the cam to the driver sie @tdc eng. tries to start but won't Help!!!!!! dist. is pointing at #1 could valves be bent? for some reason I get nothing on my compression gauge

Well you are either still out of time or you bent the valves. You can remove the camshaft and then try a cylinder leak down test. If you leak down is good then you valves are not bent.
