Engine won't start up - help needed

The cylinder head gasket of my 1992 Saab 900 LPT was gone last week (all fluid gone in a few seconds) so I took the head of, had it checked by a specialist and fitted the head again. Before fitting I inspected the pistons which all looked fine.
Now the engine just will not fire up. The timing of the chains and cam shafts is 100% OK, the cables are fitted well. I had it all checked by a mechanic with 35 years of Saab experience who told me he would have the car running within 5 minutes, but he just couldn't. There is a clear spark on all plugs and the injectors do spray.
The mechanic told me to check the compression, which is 3,5 Bar on all cylinders. Before the head gasket was blown away the engine ran like new.
Anyone know what to do next?
