Default B18a1 rough idle and rich smelling exhaust

I have a 93 integra with the stock b18 recently had to replace the headgasket and head, got it all put back together and it started up and runs fine, other than idling a bit rough and the engine seems to be shaking alot more than usual, I'm thinking it needs a valve adjustment but don't know if that would cause the engine to shake so much, it also seems to be warming up too quick but hasn't overheated but I'm pretty sure I just need to finish getting to air bubbles out of the system to solve that.

What I am most concerned about is the rich smelling exhaust and the engine shaking so much now, any help is appreciated, thanks.

Doing a valve adjustment tomorrow, anything helps if this doesn't solve it.

Let me know what you find out, having the same issue with a Type R with B18C. White smoke and water vapor from exhaust. Checked timing, swapped out distributor, spark plug, and spark plug wiring. Did compression test next thing on my list is leakdown and double check distributor timing and adjustment. From what I gather so for it is the head that is more likely causing issue or the ring can be shot too.
