Check you timimg. Also when I changed my head I found the intake manafold was coated in exaust residue, could be your air fuel mixture is out.
Just a couple of quick 'cheap' thoughts

Change the air filter. Yup, number 1 thing to do. Regardless of how clean it LOOKS, if you can't see ight evenly though ALL the paper baffles, you are restricting the airflow. Easy, chea, and yes it makes a huge difference immediately. Cheers, Christine.
