Default Missing like crazy

I have a el 4.0 and have just recently got my head shaved and put an xr6 cam in, but it is missing like crazy and stalls. i put all new plugs and leads on and replaced my coil which also went. What are the chances of there being a bent valve of one not sealing properly?

what are the chances you have the leads on in the wrong order?

it could be the head gasket not sealed properly, ie. losing compression. also check for a cracked distributor cap, or throttle body adjustment
