Default Valve Lash Problem HELP

I did the adjustment yesterday and i might of tighten it to much the first time and when I started it up thinking the 12mm Loosen nuts where supposed to be tight. Then it did not want to start and all I was hearing was the Dizzy making a little noise but thats it, I gave it like 4 Cranks and all I was hearing was noise around the Dizzy. So I researched again and I felt so Stupid cause they where supposed to be loose so I did a .003 Intake and .006 Exhaust on my 93 B18A. Everything was all set and then the car did'nt want to start all I hear was a pup pup pup from the Exhaust and almost turning on, so I checked the spark plugs and they were kinda wet and a GAS smell everywhere. I bought new Spark plugs and nothing same ****. Then I checked the Dizzy and took it out for inspection and nothing was wrong that i saw, so I plug the Dizzy back and guess what it Started Up But It Was MISFIRING Should I Replace the Dizzy or What. Also is not the Injecters and no Vacuum Leak and the good thing is that theres no TICKING. Please Someone Help.

You did .003 Intake and .006 Exhaust The recommended clearances are Intake: .003-.005 Exhaust: .006-.008 I think for a b18. So you may be on the tight side if you were going to .003 and it snugged up a little when you tightened the nut. Go for .004 and .007 and see what it does.

take the cap off and check that the rotor is still in place. also check your firing order.

what doubljz means is since you set it to .003 and then tightened it, it might be something like .0029 which would be too tight.
