Literally a 'starter motor' 200

Hi, I replaced the head on my car a day or two ago, and have had some truoble getting the old girl to run. I am guessing it's somehwere in the timing area, but I'm not really sure.
Things I have:
-Spark
-Fuel
-Compression in number one cylinder when the notches line up

All the timing notches are lined according to the Haynes manual. When I turn the key to start it, the car actually fires, and runs as long as the starter is engaged. Soon as the key is released(back to normal ON position), the engine dies. After this, the exhaust manifold is warm, but not hot. What could be causing this? Any ideas would be appreciated, as I need this car for work during the week.
