help 05 civic will not start

i am new to this forum and i am at a loss. i replaced the head gasketand timing belt on a 05 civic ex and now it will not start. it kind of sounds like something is off. i checked spark and i have spark also checked fuel and i have fuel going to injectors. i thought i might have missed something and took it all apart again and there was nothing redid timing and i checked all connections again and everything was connected. i have no compression and i am wondering if the timing could still be off and if it is could it have bent any valves. if it did bend valves how would i check it. i did notice when i took the head off the second time it looked like the valves were stuck in the head there was no space between valve or head. is there supposed to be a little gap between the valves and head also when i was checking the timing with the valve cover off the rocker arms seemed to go up and down no problem could the valves be bent and the rocker arms still go up and down. i just do not know what to do i have never had this problem before i have changed head gaskets before and enver had any issues. i also change cam shaft sensor could it be the crank shaft sensor i am not getting any codes i have no idea could someone give me some advice on what i could be missing.

Did the original timing belt break?

I'm not sure about the valves but I do believe they are supposed to be air-tight or there would be no compression.
