Timing Issues ??
I have a 1999 F150 4x4 5.4, I pulled the heads due to blown head gasket. Prior to pulling heads truck started and run fine other than miss on #1 cylinder. I timed the engine according to Haynes manual and posts on this site. Truck is now hard to start and idles very rough. I does seem to smooth out when reving the engine and seems to have plenty of power. Cant find any vacuum leaks or unplugged wires. Any suggestions??

Turns out not to be timing issue. It's amazing what vacuum line placement will do. For Future reference the green one goes to the EGR and the red one goes to the fuel rail.
