Default help with my motor problem please

ok so heres the thing.. last night i took my VC and rockerarm assembly out of my car and replace a valve adjustment screw then today i put it all back together and just finished.. fired up my car for the first time and no leaks. yet the whole car is vibrating like hell.. its idleing at about 1.5 grand.. i rev it up a lil and it sounds like a effin 2stroke dirt bike.. and its running rich with gas coming out the exaust.. i have a faint idea of what the problem is.. im thinking either plugs or plug wires. the motor is a D15b7 help me resolve this please

Ummm.....

You did re-time the motor correctly?????? You didn't just pull it off and then stick it back on without making sure all the marks were lined up right?

Sounds to me like the valves are too tight. Recheck your adjustment.

Check.

Timing.

Do it.

This sounds exactly like you have timing off. Ever heard a domestic V8 with the distributor 180 off? Yeah.

You said it's running rich, but is it to the point where it backfires?

checked timing it was dead on. pulled everything back off and put it all on and fired up idled fine and runs great i think it was bc of the rocker arm assembly binding up on the valves.. thanks for all your input
