If the engine is not turning over check you starter and battery. You may have drained the battery trying to get it to start.

Or you have way too much oil that you put in the spark plug holes.

generally ATF is also a better choice than motor oil for temp raising compression, as it will help clean the carbon out as well.

No more than a table spoon per rotor hole to bring up compression.

Check your plugs too
