Those two problems don't really seem related. Why did you change it in the first place? Was it leaking oil? If that is the case, I don't see any way that changing a cam seal could cause a misfire.

changed it because it was leaking, i have asked a couple of people and say i might have a torque issue with the rockers, i removed everything without setting the car to tdc which means more than likely there was some valves open, so i have to recheck when i get home today . i can only think that i have low compression in that cylinder.

well i figured out the problem. i had 110 compression on #1 and 135 on the rest figured that when i loosened everything i had to re-adjust the valve lash, now i have 150 across the board.
