Default timing belt replaced, now misfiring

I just changed the timing belt, head gasket and balancer shaft belt on a 97 accord and now it runs really rought like it is misfiring. While it is running, if i pull off #1 or #2 spark plug wire or injector plug, there is no change in idle. If i do the same thing to number 3 or 4, the car dies or there is a huge change in idle. The timing is dead on, I am not sure what to do

I also did a compression test and all cylinders were between 170-180psi

Firing order?
Got any cracks in distributor cap?

Pull plugs #1 & #2 after running
- should be wet with fuel if it's spark problem.

did you adjust the valves when you put the head back on?
