HELP!!! All cylinders misfiring after new headgasket and timing chain

*SOLVED*

I'm scratching my head over here. Can somebody please point me towards the right direction. I had timing chain failure on my n20 and I removed the cylinder head to make sure that valve didnt hit pistons not knowing that n20 engine are non-interference. After finishing the job, the engine has been misfiring on all cylinders and I cant seem to be able to fix that.

No DTC codes other than misfire and camshaft limit position sensor really. Reset the engine adaptations on ista+ thinking that'll do something but made no difference. The car did sit in the garage for 2 years before it was fixed so I syphoned the old gas out the filler cap but I guess the 2nd side of the tank would still have some. I thought maybe old gas clogged the injectors but poured injector cleaner in and ran for 30min which made no different either.

Really appreciate any input. TIA!

SOLUTION: Found out that cyl 2 spark plug had a crack in the ceramic insulation. I replaced it and syarted the car and it stopped misfiring after revving a few times.

Yes I did. Timing is 100% correct. To rule it out, I already removed the valve cover again and confirmed the timing is perfect.
