Very possible that valve(s) were damaged with the timing chain incorrectly installed, yes.

Well I guess I had to remove the head and send it to the shop to get corrected and put it back with the right diagram cause i'm about to buy the car but I know it running bad the engine is shaking a little bit when you shut it down you ca hear the air leaking out of the valve.

Before removing the head, recheck the valve timing first.

If the air filter had been replaced with a fast flow type, it would occur as mentioned. So would a removed or bad filter.
