Default Problem after head gasket

Hey guys, Iam working on a 2004 sentra with a QG18DE. I just replaced the head gasket And now the car will start with some throttle action and idle, but any gas will rev up a hair then bog down the engine. It sounds like a timing issue, maybe with the weird intake cam timing advance thing? Any thoughts?

After changing the intake cam 1 tooth, it runs the same. Little better, but I tried unplugging the oil pressure sending unit on the top of the valve cover, and the car runs the same. I put 12 volts to the actual solenoid and It changed positions, so I think the internals of the intake sprocket may be trashed? It's the QG18DE motor
