Default 96 honda civc ex, need help with engine

The Gaskets around my plugs poped well 3 of them did and created a huge vacume leak, was wondering what types of damages that can do to other things? happened when i was driving, replaced all the gaskets but now when i crank it up there is a loud smacking sound and engine shakes, did i mess up a piston or valves or throw the timing?

Did you change the plugs and clean up the wires?

Havnt yet waiting on a valve cover bolt to come from the dealer, replaced the gaskets and put the valve cover back on i cranked it and it had a loud smacking noise and engine shook around, its all back off right now and just wanna make sure to check and see if it messed anything else up before i bolt it back up.

What do you mean popped? Are you talking about the crush ring around the spark plug?
