Wont Start after cam install
I think that im going to go and take it apart and double check the timing chain just so I can rule that option out. thanks for the replies and I'll keep yall updated.
also taking the timing chain cover off would that mean i have to change the cover gasket again?

The metal type gaskets are reuseable. However take this with a grain of salt as after 100k they seem to need replacing. Otherwise, if all is well it should seal back up fine with a used gasket.

I finally got the time to check out the timing and like I said before everything is dead on. so i put everything back on and she fires right up and idles perfectly for about five minutes. it started with one backfire then it started doing it pretty rapidly. i shut the car off and try to restart it and it struggles to restart after about 30 secs of trying it starts and a code finally pops up p0301 which is misfire cylinder 1
. so i pull cylinder 1 plug check it and it looks pretty toasted, so i replace it fire it back up and am back where i was at before 
a lot of backfiring.

I just finished swapping plugs at first then fired her up, the misfire cylinder 1 code still came on. so i swapped the coil packs with no luck the code just keeps coming back.
i went to autozone bought the cheapo lifetimes and ill change them every time i take the coils off.
