Just replaced HG and now it won't start

OK, I pulled the timing belt cover and the CPS and then double checked their alignment with TDC, Put it all back together and it started right up.

Of course now I have a really bad knock. Checked my valve clearances and 18 out of 24 are off anywhere from .001 to .003. I'm ordering new shims and then I will see if that took care of the knock.
