I replaced the cylinder head on the passenger side and did all the basics and it won’t crank over.

The first thing i would do is use a beaker bar on the front of the engine at the balancer bolt to see if the engine can be rotated by hand. You might have a bolt in a cylinder which will not allow the engine to turn over.

This guide can help as well:

Can you hear anything when you crank it over? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response.
