Engine not Starting after Overhaul Sign In

I just finished putting back my 96 Geo Metro, 3 cylinder 1L engine, after getting it overhauled. I put the head and the block together myself. I am not able to get it started. I get a lot of fuel coming out of the Throttle Body injector's top (where the air filter would sit). I am thinking this is fuel that should be going to the cylinders. Could this be the reason? Anybody has an idea on why that would happen?

You should start by checking the valve timing. Make sure the cam and crank timing marks are where they should be at #1 TDC. If they are, pop the distributor cap and make sure the rotor is pointing at #1 terminal of the cap.
