Spark plugs are always the easiest and cheapest to change. They could be fouled. You should pull them to see.

You confirmed you are getting fuel and spark though. Next, you check for air. Maybe the cam timing is off or something. Maybe no compression. Who knows.

Is it making the normal cranking sounds? But it just doesn't fire up?
