Hi there, new here so I apologize in advance if I'm posting in the wrong spot.
I have a 1997 honda civic, I had a slight sputter only when I'd break at lights, stop signs ect, so someone told me to change my valve gasket cover seal, I had no trouble doing this and there was oil leakage at the seams, thing is while I was replacing that buddy that helped me get my longest bolt that broke off the valve gasket cover messed with my rocker arms and tightened things he shouldn't have touched while I was replacing the rest of the seals.
Now my car lags and bogs down when I accelerate and eventually backfires on me... What do I do?!

First you should start using periods, commas, and complete sentences. Then you should have your valves adjusted by someone who knows what they're doing.
