check your timing with a timing light

those parts shouldn't require a tune, but will benfit from it. not to sound like an ass, but make sure those damn cam gears are tightened up and zero'd out first, and also check and double check the timing... spend the time to absolutely make sure it hasnt jumped teeth or was incorrectly installed, it will save you another head removal

I assume you know with cams the idle is gonna sound off. Timing is your biggest concern here. Make sure you are lining up with the correct tick mark on the crank pulley and make sure the cams are set at the proper place for the TDC timing. Adjust from there. A tune would benefit you as well.
