We would call fire, spark . I still think the cams are out of time with the crankshaft. 180 degrees. The gears do fit and can be mistakenly the intake one on the exhaust cam and visa versa. But that’s apparently been looked at several times

Yeah I get lazy at times.
Thought people could fill me in if I missed something.
Just to many things happening here for the problem at hand.
If the chains are installed correctly and the engine has low(?) mileage, compression should be higher than 90.
The OP says he has "Fire" but to start.
What does that mean ?

the one that came with the kit was like the used 1 you show when I installed it I had to Tap it to activate it when I pulled it out to recheck the timing I took the snap ring off and reset it by twisting in inward then I installed after double checking timing and tapped it to engage it again. will this effect the timing its the exact same 1 that came out?

If you're going to tear it down again, PLEASE take pictures of the chain and the marks lined up. Like I said before, it may take many revolutions to get all the marks lined back up.
Maybe with the pictures posted in this thread someone can spot a problem that you didn't notice.

Yes we can see the pictures.
You show the marks for the cams.
Where is the picture of the chain on the crank sprocket ?
You show the damper is installed to the key on the crankshaft.
Why the pictures of the cams ?
