Default Rough Idle

I just replaced my Head Gasket, as well as plugs, wires, cap. Now that the Jeep finally starts again, it seems like its really laboring! The idle is really rough(around 700rpm) not jumping just really rough!

Any Ideas???

Possible vacuum leaks, check vacuum lines. Seal at fuel injectors if you pulled the injectors and did not change o-rings. How old is the fuel? Check your compression. Good luck!
