Default runs rough, but no CEL

Ok, we finally got this 97 DOHC neon running after redoing the timing, but it has a definite miss to it and no CEL. It seems to be sucking down gas, so a bad fuel injector is possible, or perhaps bad orings could do it?, they were all chewed up when I put the injectors back in, just don't know if that could cause such a rancid miss?

Default RE: runs rough, but no CEL

well, in response to my post, I found the problem. No compression in cylinder 4. Somehow the torquing of the headbolts had gotten messed up when I wasn't there and things were overtorqued and undertorqued.
