97 metro starting problems

the head is redone. replaced the alternator. put new rings and rod bearings in. it was runnning fine after i finished it all that. i heard some noise and replaced the water pump. now it won't start. if it does it's really really rough and advancing or decreasing the distributor doesn't work at all. i redid the timing 3-5 x's and still the same results either way. what could it be????

you redid the timing distributor timing or belt timing because it really seems your timing belt is off one tooth making the valve open at the wrong time check this first if you did check the keyways in the crank and cam to make sure they are not worn sometimes they flop back and worth this would be bad... but it happens allot follow up and ill help as much as i can
