Sputtering, loud pop, dies...wont start.
So i was cruising on the street and some idiot decides to rev his motor at me. so i rev back. after that the car died. started it back up and it puttered. pulled the spark plug wires and the spark plug well had oil in it. Changed the valve cover gasket, spark plug well gaskets,wires,plugs and it wont start. it has spark. just wont fire. as i was driving it after all the wires and stuff was changed, it puttered and seemed to "get stuck" where you press the gas and the car doesnt move. then popped really loud and died. now wont start... any ideas what this could be? my brother filled the tank with e20 (why i have no idea...prolly cuz it was cheap) it was running fine until i reved it (regretting now) Any help is def appreciated. the fuel pump does prime.

You and your brother are stupid. You for revving back and your brother for the E20. WTF? Only reason I'll try and help you is that you probably came to terms with your stupidity and accepted the fact that what you did was stupid. Little harsh but hey, we all make mistakes right??
From what I've read, it sounds like you could have:
a vacuum leak or possibly bent valves (not likely but plausible if you revved past redline) which could lead to the Timing to get messed up. On top of that, you might have high oil pressure since your plugs had oil.
Any codes?? Hopefully it's just a vacuum leak....
If not then you will have to get a leakdown test.

hahah at you calling the guy an idiot but you did the same thing back!!!
i would start with getting all of that gas out of the car. make sure you still have fuel and spark then check timing.
