Motor sounds/runs awful after cam

[Dave00]

Yesterday I finished my cam/lifter job, and the motor sounded awful, all sorts of ticking and a ton of shaking. Even after a tune it wont idle much. Also to note I had a p0108 and the red lightning bolt symbol was flashing like crazy, which I believe is the throttle body. I believed it to be a pushrod popped loose maybe but I have yet to take valve covers off which Ill get to tomorrow. Lifters were bathed in oil overnight but the motor did run for a couple minutes which I assume would bleed the lifters. I did put a vaccum gague and the vaccum was jumping up and down consistently no matter what. No codes for timing and no misfire codes (yet). I am pretty worried so any opinions or ideas are extremely helpful.

Check your push rods, any back firing when you give it throttle, did you do the MDS delete, are you sure the tune loaded properly.

I took a look at it in the afternoon, right under the driver side valve cover I saw that I had stupidly put a pushrod down the wrong hole and seemed to not double check it, stupid mistake but I learned from it, map sensor connector wasn't all the way in, and did a throttle body relearn. Runs and sounds great now. Thanks for your reply I appreciate the helpfulness everyone here offers.
