Well you shouldnt have taken the camshaft out to replace the timing belt or do a water pump. If you do take the cam out, or the t-belt off, most likely your timing is off. with your timing off, your distributor is off, and throw a spark at the wrong time. Also, if your timing if off, you could have pretty much destroyed the head if you keep cranking it over. You may have damaged the pistons, bent valves, so on. Double check to see if the timing is all set and your distributor and plug wires are all in the right places.
