Default 95 sedan starts but makes weird noise

Engine is f22b2 with 244k

So I just replaced my O-rings that go under the rocker arms cause I had a leak in my spark plug tube. After replacing the gaskets I put everything back together and I noticed there was a green wire attached to the ignition coil and it wasn't connected to anything, so I cut the addition wiring off, but leaving the original green wire connected.

Now when I start my car after about 30 seconds it'll make a weird clicking noise and act like it wants to stall out. I thought it was the valves tapping so I turned it off right away and there was still a clicking sound coming from the engine bay after the car was shut off. So I'm stumped, could this be the ignition coil, or the valves?

the frequency of the clicking noise gets fast when rpm's rise, but it still lightly clicks right after i turn the engine off. Does anybody know what this could be?

it is probable a universal joint more the front than the rear, the long thing is a drive shaft... as a rule it is only one cup that is dry and proberly rusted as the shaft is twisted under load the uni moves about in the cup and gives the quite light clicking noise it is something that is in need of a quick repair see a mechanic soonest . nothing worse than watching your drive shaft pass you downthe road... lol

I do all my own repairs, so I would like to do the work myself. does anyone know of a diy manual for this, or can point me in the direction of one?

But still, does anyone know what this sound could be coming from? I'm going to double check my timing marks so i'll make another post after I get more into it.

So I found out my cam gear is about half a tooth off, my crank pulley is at TDC (lines up with the single mark on the pulley) but no matter how many times I've adjusted and re-adjusted everything I cant for the life of me get the engine to make a full turn over.

I've been using this guide https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-accord-1990-2002-2/how-replace-headgasket-f22b2-2335661/
But STILL cannot get the timing right. Is there any tips or tricks to get them to line up right? The last thing I want to do is take off the crank pulley to align everything, so please help a kid out!

haha, i used the same tutorial to do my head gasket...i think in the haynes manual it says that there are two marks on the cam gear that should align with the head, there should be an "UP" mark on it, there is on mine, but when mine's at TDC the "UP" mark is facing down

by the way, im not saying you should put your cam gear's "UP" mark to the bottom, when i did the head gasket on my car we just slipped the belt off and did our best not to touch the cam gear and the "UP" was facing down, when we put it all back together and took it for a drive everything ran as it did before, but i have no idea if it would be the same for other cars, my car is a 97 accord, same generation and same engine....and i agree with crz1o13o4, make sure you have the right firing order,
