the first thing you have to do is stop trying to start it.
take it all apart again yea i know but better be safe then sorry. and check to make sure evererything is installed correctly.
.. ill tell you from experience that if you are hearing noises now and its not starting what do you think you will hear if it starts.
it might not start as the noise you are hearing might be the valve hitting the piston .
the valves might be hung open due to improper pushrod adjustment or the rocker boxes have not been clearenced and preventing the valves from opening or fully closeing.
