I hate to ask, but... you got oil in there? What about the oil pressure light... does it work? That is to say, it should come on with the ignition, then immediately go out as soon as it starts.

Could be a timing gear, but could also be a rod knock, which is a bit more serious. IN any case, I wouldn't be driving it until you at least diagnose the problem. And if it is a timing gear or a rod knock, dont' run it till you fix it!
