96 f250 head scratcher

I recently blew my head gasket and being broke and a decent wrench turned on traditional vehicles I tackled it myself. I also did my timing chain since I had a broken bolt in there since I did the water pump a year ago. I also lapped the valves and did stem seals got it all back together and it won't start just popping and sounds like timing is way off
. I checked the firing order and can't get it to start even with starting fluid. A buddy put the timing chain in, is it possible that he could have done something wrong? I don't know what else it can be. I'm perfect and never made a mistake!!! Lol
