Default 400ex new piston wont start??

So my 400ex was smoking bad!! So i replaced the stock piston with a pro x piston and had it bored .50 over got all the parts back put the sleve and head and valve cover back on it turnes over just fine it either is backfiring or acting like it wants to start...So i put new plug in and does the same thing.So i pulled the plug back out and its getting spark!!! Is there anyway that the timing is 180 out??? Any input?
