Default 1996 limited 5.2l V8 4x4 Wont start.....

My water pump went out so we replaced it and while in the process of tightening the bolts my husband ended up snapping the timing gear in half. He didnt realise the bottom 2 bolts went all the way through the timing cover. So I got a timing kit and all the gaskets and seals and we replaced the timing gears and chain also. Also changed the oil incase there was water in it. When we got everything put back together and went to start it, it would try but with no luck. Can't figure this out. It started before we began the water pump replacement. Need help asap!! This is my daily driver and I commute 30 min to get to work every night and need my car desperately!!!
