Car: 90 s13 fastback

Post

hey everybody new on nicoclub! i just bought a 90 s13 fastback about a month or so ago and the headgasket blew about a week ago so i bought and installed a full top end gasket set. i took everything apart and put it through the heat wash in my class so everything was off time. i got it all back together and timed it with the cam key up, the crank pulley on the red line, and the distibutor rotor down right pointing to 1 on the cap. it kind of runs but its REALLY rough. i need to know what i did wrong with it ? if anyone could tell me how to do it exactly right i would really appreciate thanx Caleb
