could improper valve adjustments cause a hella rough idle on a d15b w/ a z6 head?

the setup:
98 civic
jdm d15b (obd2)
z6 head
obd1 dizzy

yea, they are ticking. the head is rebuilt. i havent done the bottom end yet. i started with top end. took me a while to get the timing right but after i did, the idle is awful and the valves are ticking.

if the head was rebuilt, then the valves are gonna be way out of adjustment. It's been disassembled at the machine shop...
