Intake gasket?

for some reason my car seems to be running really bad. the 1 and 4 cyl have too much fuel going to them (when i take out the spark plug fuel is dripping off) while the 2 and 3 cyl are running so lean the plugs are almost all white. i did remove the intake, so i was wondering if maybe i put the gasket in wrong? in all the books have about the sentra that i have it says theres a good chance i have a vaccume leak or intake leak. just wondering if any one could agree or disagree.

Did you get the injectors,plug wires, etc all back in the correct order when you reassembled everything?

well i found out that its not the intake gaskets. so i was wonder if someone could tell me whats wrong.

1. the compression is messed up or maybe its the gauge.. 1cyl 210psi, 2cyl 160psi, 3cyl 110psi, 4cyl 210psi

2. the car ran good for about a day after i changed the head gasket so i didnt put the cams in wrong. then after that day it would start but i took about a minute of constant turning over.(plus when i took out the plugs the #1and4 cyl where dripping with fuel while #2and3 cyl where running lean.) then the next day it wouldnt even start.

3. im getting spark to all the spark plugs i checked that.

4. im getting enough fuel in the car. the plugs are dripping with fuel when i take them out. plus theres fuel in the oil.

5.it turns over but dosent start.

6. i changed the o2 sensor

well there you go thats whats wrong with my car so if anyone knows whats going on please fill me in. oh yeah i did hook up all the vaccume lines correct i checked them all twice.

It almost sounds like your not getting spark, verify that you are. The plugs could be wet due to no spark. Also I have only done head gaskets on cars with timing belts, but during your head gasket did you have to remove the timing chain (probally). Maybe it somehow either jumped timing or is not set correctly. Just some suggestions...

well i did check each spark plug and there all working. i guess im left with taking the timeing chain cover off and checking to see if the cams are lined up correctly.
thanks for your help
