I have a 1994 marathon that I just went over-new piston rings, valves, etc. Im getting plenty of spark and gas, but not even trying to start. engine is turning over fine

compression check was 90- this was new to me, I just replaced the valves , springs and seals without doing anything

i would start with the compression, a re-ring engine should have about 175lbs with throttle wide open.
are the plugs wet?

the compression is to low, HRC is right on with the valve adjustment. check to make sure you have 4 to 6 thousands Clearance, if thats all good then you need to check the cam timing and make sure the cam pulley is matched with the pin on the cam. if all that checks out? the problem is farther inside
