Default Rough Idle

I replaced the camshaft seal that I posted about over a week ago and I started the car and now it has rough idle. Maybe the timing on the camshafts Is off a bit?

As you did a good job on the seal, I would first check ALL of the vacuum lines EVERYWHERE. It happens more frequently than we want, that something might have knocked one loose. Also there are connectors to the Fuel Injectors and the coils/plugs.
If it didn't idle rough before, I wouldn't suspect the cam movement first.

Turns out that the camshaft was off a bit took it to my family mechanic and he had it timed and ready to go in 15 min. But the seal pushed back out shortly after so we ended up deciding to replace the head for the second time.
