Default Fresh Engine build fuel fouling plugs no start

The car will crank as long as I have the key turned but it will never start. All the easy to see plugs are connected and I've been under the car a few times to check connections down there. I'm almost 99.9 percent positive my connections are proper. I replaced the valve stem seals and the valve cover. That's about all I've done to the head. It's a complete bottom end rebuild. I crank it and it won't start so I pull the plugs and they are drenched in a slightly oily fuel mix but the piston itself doesn't seem to have any oil on it. The plugs do spark when pulled from the car so I know I have spark and obviously more than enough fuel. Timing is correct.
