I did my head gasket today and everything seemed to go smoothly. I replaced the t-belt and b-belt too. After struggling with the t-belt a few times I got rather irritated and left it at 1/2 tooth out of time. The car runs and drives but runs very rough and won't make any power at all. My boost guage is reading like 10 inches of vacuum at idle. It used to read around 19-20. I've gone over everything 3 times looking for something I may have left disconnected like maybe a vacuum line or something but can't find anything out of place. Would that 1/2 tooth be causing all this trouble? I'm going to do it over again in the morning but just though I'd get some more ideas on what else it could be.
