Will the engine run on starting fluid? It sounds like an engine wiring harness ground has been left off when doing the valve cover job, can you use a flashlight and look around where you were working to see if you can find it? Please go over this video as well, it shows the easy problem when this happens.

The ground is in the left rear of the engine compartment. Does the engine sound normal while cranking? If you upload a short video of the engine cranking from under the hood I can tell if the engine is hurt or not. Here is the ground location in the images below. Let us know how it goes.
